How to change the color of titlebar in JFrame?

Question

I am using the following code,

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

for change the toolbar color in JFrame. But it didn't work.

Is it possible to change the color of titlebar in JFrame?

Answer 1

Yes I found the solution. I think it may be helpful for people who are seeing this now.

Use FlatLaf

In that there are many look and feels. You can see them here.

To change the title bar background color and foreground color use this:-

FlatLightLaf.setup(); //setting the look and feel
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
frame.getRootPane().putClientProperty("JRootPane.titleBarBackground", new Color(23,180,252));
       frame.getRootPane().putClientProperty("JRootPane.titleBarForeground", Color.white);

Now I can achieve this:-

Answer 2

Its not possible. The top level JFrame is controlled by the look & feel of the underlying OS.

You CAN change the color of an InternalFrame.
