JTabbedPane & Color

[Guest]

JTabbedPane mainTab = new JTabbedPane();
.....
mainTab.setBackgroundAt(0, Color.RED);


With the code above, I set to red the background of first tab.
When tab is inactive, all right and color is red.
When tab is active, the color is not red nor light-red but light-gray.

I want when the tab is active, the tab color is red(ff0000) or
light-red (ff8080)

Can you help me please?

Sorry - there is no property for controlling the background color of the
selected tab. It is controlled by the look-and-feel, normally using the
UIDefault property "TabbedPane.selected". As far as I know, the only way
to customize this would be to replace the UI delegate.

like this
UIManager.put("TabbedPane.background", Color.red);

Yes, but that would affect *all* tabbed panes, which would be considered
rather unfriendly.
