JTextField with JLabel style using GTKLookAndFeel

Question

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

Answer 1

I think that setBorder(null); to reset default Borders in/came from UIMananager for GTK L&F, or to set this value to the UIMananager directly for JTextField

EDIT:

you have to change BorderUIResource, the same way as demonstrated here for FontUIResource
