FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have been unable to set the default color for disabled text in the JRadioButton. I have tried RadioButton.disabledText and RadioButton.disabledForeground to no avail.
There was a bug report submitted (#4314194 ) against a similar problem but only the Metal L&F was addressed. It says in the report that the problem has been fixed for 1.4(merlin-beta) but in 1.5 I am still seeing problems in the Motif L&F. The workaround mentioned in the bug report does work.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
(1) set your look and feel:
 UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel");

(2) try to set your RadioButton disabled text default:
    defaults.put ("RadioButton.foreground", Color.white);
    defaults.put ("RadioButton.background", Color.black);
    defaults.put ("RadioButton.disabledText", Color.gray);

(3) create a radio button and disable it and the color will not be gray, it will be black

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
expected color of disabled text to be gray
ACTUAL -
color of disabled text was black (darker shade of background color)

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Color;

public class swingTest {

private static void createFrame() {
try
{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel"); UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
defaults.put ("RadioButton.foreground", Color.white);
defaults.put ("RadioButton.background", Color.black);
defaults.put ("RadioButton.disabledText", Color.gray);
}
catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test Swing Application");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
JRadioButton rButton1 = new JRadioButton("Test RadioButton");
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);
        frame.getContentPane().add(rButton1);
rButton1.setEnabled(false);
frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
createFrame();
}
}
