now I am looking for a way to modify the color of the right area of a tabbed pane. Obviously there are two different things involved:
Case 1: If „SingleTabShown“ is used (the „abc“ dockable), the area to the right of the tab is filled with the background color of the content area of the control, in my example set to „red“.
Case 2: If multiple tabs are shown (the right part), the area right of the tabs is filled with another color.
My goal is to set the background color of both areas to the same color.
Thanks for your attention,
Thilo
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("title");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
CControl control = new CControl(frame);
CContentArea contentarea = control.getContentArea();
frame.add(contentarea);
control.setTheme(ThemeMap.KEY_FLAT_THEME);
contentarea.setBackground(Color.red);
// decide which buttons to show directly on the tabs
control.putProperty(FlatTheme.ACTION_DISTRIBUTOR,
new DefaultDockActionDistributor() {
@Override
protected DockActionSource createInfoSource(DockActionSource source) {
return new FilteredDockActionSource(source) {
@Override
protected boolean include(DockAction action) {
return true;
}
};
}
@Override
protected DockActionSource createTabSource(DockActionSource source) {
return new FilteredDockActionSource(source) {
@Override
protected boolean include(DockAction action) {
return false;
}
};
}
});
// set custom colors
ColorManager cm = control.getController().getColors();
cm.put(Priority.CLIENT, "stack.tab.background.top", Color.cyan);
cm.put(Priority.CLIENT, "stack.tab.background.top.selected", Color.yellow);
cm.put(Priority.CLIENT, "stack.tab.background.top.focused", Color.yellow);
// use single-tab-shown and title-shown to switch behavior
DefaultSingleCDockable d1 = new DefaultSingleCDockable("d1", "abc");
d1.setSingleTabShown(true);
d1.setTitleShown(false);
d1.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
DefaultSingleCDockable d2 = new DefaultSingleCDockable("d2", "def");
d2.setSingleTabShown(true);
d2.setTitleShown(false);
d2.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
DefaultSingleCDockable d3 = new DefaultSingleCDockable("d3", "ghj");
d3.setSingleTabShown(true);
d3.setTitleShown(false);
d3.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
// move tab to the top
control.putProperty(StackDockStation.TAB_PLACEMENT, TabPlacement.TOP_OF_DOCKABLE);
CGrid grid = new CGrid(control);
grid.add(0, 0, 1, 1, d1);
grid.add(1, 0, 1, 1, d2, d3);
contentarea.deploy(grid);
frame.setBounds(500, 250, 700, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);

thanks again for the quick answer. Again it hits the bull’s eye.
It includes a very interesting detail to understand how components are stacked and inheriting properties from their ancestors:
// do not paint default background
paintable.paintBackground( null );
Btw. Instead of accessing the ColorManager you can also use the ColorMap to define different colors for each CDockable:
Yes, I know, but my main goal is to achieve an overall consistent look, so all my docks should use the same colors/fonts/borders etc. independent of their state or function.
