Calling setBackground(Color.lightGray) does not work.
It set the background to white. This is not a problem with 1.1.7.

-------------------

kevin.ryan@eng -- verified, even with JDK 1.2.2 RC1. Thought we already had a bug re. this, but couldn't find it.

import java.awt.*;

public class blah extends Frame {

    public blah() {
        super();
        // couldn't get it to work without Swing-style semantics
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        TextArea ta = new TextArea();
        ta.setSize(200,200);
        ta.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
        ta.setForeground(Color.blue);
        ta.setText("This is the full extent of the text behind which we'd like to see a light Gray background.");

        getContentPane().add(ta, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        pack();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        blah f = new blah();
        f.setLocation(200, 200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}
