Change JComboBox colours WITHOUT renderer

I can change the ComboBox background color using:

UIManager.put("ComboBox.background", Color.RED);

and it works.

But to change the [selected].background, having a look at Nimbus Defaults the property is called ComboBox:"ComboBox.listRenderer"[Selected].background, so I tried with:

UIManager.put("ComboBox:\"ComboBox.listRenderer\"[Selected].background", Color.RED);

but i开发者_开发技巧t doesn't work.

I want to do this with a renderer (which I have tried and gives many problems into a long code I even hadn't written myself, and rendering the comboboxes into the JFileChoosers is an extra problem if I go that way). So, is there any solution to fix this using UIMAnager.put()?

---

set different Color, without using Nimbus defaluts

1/ for separate JComboBox

((JTextField) myJComboBox.getEditor().getEditorComponent())
#setBackground(Color.xxxx);

2/ for JFileChooser

• extract all JComponents from JFileChooser (compound JComponents) as sugested here, same way as is described for JList and JScrooPane

• safiest way by extract all JComponents from JFileChooser as suggested in your previous post about that here

3/ by using NimbusDefalut find defalut for

• JTextField and as suggested in my add No.1

• JComboBox's DropDown List from defaluts for JList, HighLighter for selection from JTable
