it's impossible in metal LAF to change the backgroung color
of a 'Non editable' Textfield. Why ??? it's really annoying !

private void editableChanged(JComponent c, boolean editable) {
  Color background = c.getBackground();
  if (editable == false) {
    if (background instanceof UIResource) {
      c.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("control"));
    }
  } else {
    if (background instanceof UIResource) {
      c.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("TextField.background"));
    }
  }
}


Why not add a new property "TextField.inactiveBackground" ?

Thanx in advance for your support .
