How to change the color of the title bar in javax.swing?-CodePudding

I generally use visual studio code or IntelliJ for coding.

In that, I see that the title bar is coloured. Not only in that but in many apps I have seen that. Now I wish to try it out for my own applications also. But I haven't found anything that can accomplish my work.

I generally want like this.

jframe.setTitleBarColor(...)

But the above type is not available. Is there any other technique that I can use to achieve that?

CodePudding user response：

I think it's not possible. Because the top-level JFrame acquires the look & feel of the machine's operating system.

By the way this program will help you to change the frame appearance with the help of LAF (Look And Feel):

    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

    f.setUndecorated(true);
    f.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.FRAME);

    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setBackground(java.awt.Color.white);
    f.setContentPane(panel);

    MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(new MyDefaultMetalTheme());
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new MetalLookAndFeel());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(f);

    f.setVisible(true);
  }
}

class MyDefaultMetalTheme extends DefaultMetalTheme {
  public ColorUIResource getWindowTitleInactiveBackground() {
    return new ColorUIResource(java.awt.Color.orange);
