Color for underlining in JTextPane

Thread view:

Hi,

I use this code to underline text in a JTextPane:

SimpleAttributeSet attributes = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setUnderline(attributes, true);
StyledDocument document = getStyledDocument();
document.setCharacterAttributes(0, getText().length(), attributes,
true);

How can I change the color of the line? By default the color is the same as
the text color...

Thanks.

René

Not so easy. The painting is done in GlyphView.paintTextUsingColor (which is
package-private) and always in the same color as the text.
It will need a lot of rewriting to replace it.

At least underlining is not done by TextLayout, where there is no control
over the color (or style) at all.
