Is there any way to change the background and foreground color of the java menu bar?
I looked in various forums and tutorials and could not find a way to change the color of the menu bar.
Here's an example:
public class menu extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public menu() {
initComponents();
jMenuBar2.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
jMenuBar2.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">
private void initComponents() {
jMenuBar2 = new javax.swing.JMenuBar();
jMenu3 = new javax.swing.JMenu();
jMenuItem1 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem2 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem3 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem4 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem5 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem6 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenu4 = new javax.swing.JMenu();
jMenuItem7 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem8 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem9 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem10 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem11 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
jMenuItem12 = new javax.swing.JMenuItem();
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jMenu3.setText("File");
jMenuItem1.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem1);
jMenuItem2.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem2);
jMenuItem3.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem3);
jMenuItem4.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem4);
jMenuItem5.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem5);
jMenuItem6.setText("jMenuItem1");
jMenu3.add(jMenuItem6);
jMenuBar2.add(jMenu3);
jMenu4.setText("Edit");
jMenuItem7.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem7);
jMenuItem8.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem8);
jMenuItem9.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem9);
jMenuItem10.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem10);
jMenuItem11.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem11);
jMenuItem12.setText("jMenuItem7");
jMenu4.add(jMenuItem12);
jMenuBar2.add(jMenu4);
setJMenuBar(jMenuBar2);
javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
layout.setHorizontalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addGap(0, 548, Short.MAX_VALUE)
