Border thickness in TableCellRenderer too thick...

[Dag Sunde]

I have the class below, implementing TableCellRenderer
to use as a custom-renderer for my ColumnHeaders in a JTable.

It works great concerning foreground-color, background-color
and font type/style, but when it comes to the border it
fails me a little bit...:

I would have thought that the line:
setBorder( new LineBorder(Color.decode("#536B7D"),1, false));
would give me a single pixel thick border that matched the thickness
of the cells in the table itself.

But it gives me a fatter (2px) wide border around each column header.
I try to achieve a 'flat' look on the column-headers...

Anyone have a tip to what I do wrong?

setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 11));
setForeground(Color.decode("#536B7D"));
setBackground(Color.decode("#c8cfd5"));
// Save the string in preparation to rendering.
setText (s);
}

return this;
}
}

Well i'm no Swing expert, but if you have two cells next to eachother with a
border of 1pixel, then logic would suggest that the line shows as a one of 2
pixels wide (since your 1 pixel border is against the 1 pixel border of the
neighbouring cell). But then , like i said, i'm no Swing expert..

Looking closer, i think you're right...
I didn't think it was that because I have fat top and bottom edges too...
But that is actually the border around the scrollpane on top, and the
top-row of the cells at the bottom of the header...

Can anyone explain to me how I make a border with only the right and bottom
line visible?

TIA...

Belay that question...

This did the trick:
Border b = new MatteBorder(0,0,1,1,Color.decode("#536B7D"));

Thanks!
