JTextField with JLabel style using GTKLookAndFeel
java, look-and-feel, swing, ubuntu, uimanager
Solution
Finally I got the expected result using JEditorPane instead of JTextField:
JEditorPane value = new JEditorPane();
value.setText(valueText);
...
It seems that GTK Look and Feel does not allow a custom background in the JTextField: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug?bug_id=6531760
Problem
I need a JTextField with a JLabel style (in other words, I need a JLabel but I want to be able to select the text). ``` JTextField value = new JTextField(valueText); value.setEditable(false); value.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder); value.setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Label.foreground")); value.setFont(UIManager.getFont("Label.font")); value.setBackground(UIManager.getBackground("Label.background")); ... ``` It works fine on Windows and Mac: but on Ubuntu (GTKLookAndFeel) I get the next result: Where "By" is the JTextField and "Size" is a JLabel
