Custom TableCellRenderer ignored by Look & Feel

I have a JTable for which I have provided a custom TableCellRenderer that paints the number cells in red / gray / green depending on their value (<0, 0,> 0).

However, when I use Nimbus L & F, the method is label.setForeground()ignored: when label.getForeground()I call, I see that the number has the correct color, for example red, but it is black on the screen. If I remove L & F, it works fine.

Is there a way to gently ask L & F to accept my color for this cell?

ps: I know that javadocsetForeground() clearly says that L & F can ignore the call, so I'm "I'm looking for a workaround."

  • I think with the help of complicated JLabel,

  • if you will use Components, then there is no need to redefine NimbusDefaultsor Painter,

  • Sorry, I have no idea to play with Nimbusand NimbusDefaultsand Renderer, because I have another favorite L&F please read more about Look and Feels

  • (without overriding NimbusDefaults from JCheckBox this problem is solved several times in this forum)

Ok, thanks mKorbel's answer , I realized that I Colorused it instead ColorUIResource. In other words:

label.setForeground(Color.red); //works
label.setForeground(new ColorUIResource(Color.red)); //doesn't work

I'm not sure I understand why one works and not the other ( Coloris a direct superclass ColorUIResource), but the problem is solved.
