RFE: Cannot Change the JSplitPane Divider Color while dragging

Name: jk109818 Date: 02/18/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
j2sdk1.4.1_01

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :Win NT 4.0


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I want to change the color of the JSplitPane divider. I
opened the code and found that, the color is hard coded to
darkGray while one is dragging the splitDivider. I have an
application where the components on SplitPane have black
background, So when i drag I can not see the split getting
dragged. Can some one fix this, by externelising the
SplitDivider color so that it can be changed at run time.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

****** The code snippet of BasicSpiltPaneUI *******

    /**
     * Returns the default non continuous layout divider, which is an
     * instanceof Canvas that fills the background in dark gray.
     */
    protected Component createDefaultNonContinuousLayoutDivider() {
        return new Canvas() {
            public void paint(Graphics g) {
                if(!isContinuousLayout() && getLastDragLocation() != -1) {
                    Dimension size = splitPane.getSize();

                    g.setColor(Color.darkGray);
                    if(orientation == JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT) {
                        g.fillRect(0, 0, dividerSize - 1, size.height - 1);
                    } else {
                        g.fillRect(0, 0, size.width - 1, dividerSize - 1);
                    }
                }
            }
        };
    }
