Change JCheckBox/JRadioButton selection color

Question

Is there a way to change the selection color of a checkbox/radiobutton?

Answer 1

Here is how to do it for a JCheckBox

UIManager.put("CheckBox.focus",Color.RED);

There is a nice tool here: http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/uimanager-defaults/ that if you run the Java Web Start program it will allow you to browse the keys and values for each component.
