How can I change the title color in a JFrame?

Question

I am using the following code,

UIManager.put("JFrame.activeTitleBackground", Color.red);

to change toolbar color in JFrame. But that did not work.

Is it possible to change the title color in a JFrame?

Answer 1

Impossible. The top level of the JFrame is controlled by the appearance of the underlying OS.

You can change the color InternalFrame.

Answer 5

In Windows10, in the main method, you can use:

UIDefaults uiDefaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
uiDefaults.put("activeCaption", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.gray));
uiDefaults.put("activeCaptionText", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.white));
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
