Hi Pavel,

From your image, I agree the focus color is not always the same

with ControlTextColor, but I cannot recreate it. When I changed color of "3D objects" to red, I got another image. Please have a look. I think your suggestion is reasonable, we'd better use the focus color from windows, but it maybe a problem to keep 100% the same, I still not found if there is a document for the focus color.

Hi Pavel,

I reported a bug there yesterday, http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=7089914<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/viewbug.do?bugid=7089914> So far, I'm not sure if Windows use ControlTextColor, I'll check it. For ease of review, I've uploaded Sean's change as a webrev [1]. With the change, I see the following focus-related color settings in the WindowsLookAndFeel: Button.focus: ControlTextColor Checkbox.focus: ControlTextColor RadioButton.focus: ControlTextColor Slider.focus: ControlDarkShadowColor TabbedPane.focus: ControlTextColor ToggleButton.focus: ControlTextColor So the change of setting for Button, Checkbox and RadioButton conforms to what is already used for TabbedPane and ToggleButton. But doesn't conform to Slider.focus... Are you recommending that Slider.focus should be changed to ControlTextColor too ? No, I meant that we cannot fix some bugs by copy-paste method. From it's name, it's not entirely obvious to me that 'ControlTextColor' is really the ideal setting to use here, but it's also clear that it's a far better setting to use than the current hard-coded 'black'. Yes, of course. The last question is which color is correct. We can't change one incorrect color to another incorrect color... I guess I hope that some knowledgeable person might be able to suggest / corroborate / refute the choice of setting here. It seems worse to consider sticking with a hard-coded, un-configurable value that has been demonstrated to cause problems, than to use a setting whose value can at least be configured, in practice fixes the problem's symptoms, and is already used in most other similar contexts within the same look& feel. Suggestions for how to improve things further are always welcome. Your points sounds good. But as I said: we can't change one incorrect color to another incorrect color (doesn't matter configurable it or not). I attached the screenshot that shows that ControlTextColor is not always equal to color of selection frame (to reproduce this image press the Advanced button and change color of "3D objects" to red).
