Trying To Change The Color Of JScrollBar

[Damian3395]

News = new JTextArea();
		News.setText("News");
		News.setForeground(two);
		News.setBackground(one);
		News.setEditable(false);
		News.setLineWrap(true);
		scrollPane = new JScrollPane(News);
		scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
		scrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
		scrollPane.setBounds(30, 235, 340, 130);
		Login.add(scrollPane);

Googling the solution doesnt work this time. I tried UIManager, but that doesnt work
Ex: UIManager.put("ScrollBar.thumb", two);
I also tried this: scrollPane.setBackground(two);
I'm also trying to figure out how to remove the scroll up and down buttons.
Help would be much appreciated.

I'm not 100% sure if it matters, but did you set the UIManager before or after you created the scroll pane?
Also, have you tried setting the background and foreground colors on the scroll bars themselves, instead of the scroll pane? JScrollPane.getHorizontalScrollBar() and JScrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar() should get you the individual scroll bars.

Thank you for the reply, I tried placing the UIManger before and after the JScrollPane.

scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBackground(one);
scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
scrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());

This works: scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBackground(on e);
I'm trying to remove the white border and the following two lines of code does not work:
scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBorder(Border Factory.createEmptyBorder());
scrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBord er());

I still cant find a way to remove the buttons and make the thumb change color.

Nevermind, I just realized that this works, but only in removing the border around the JTextArea I have created.
scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setBorder(Border Factory.createEmptyBorder());
scrollPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBord er());
I want to remove the white border around the scrollbar.

I'm really close now, I figured out how to completely change the scrollbar by creating my own UI.
Everything works in the MyScrollBarUI class, except that the thumb stays in place, where it is drawn, which makes sense, anybody know a easy clean fix to this?

How I set Up The UI in my jpanel:

scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar().setUI(new MyScrollBarUI());

CustomUI:

class MyScrollBarUI extends BasicScrollBarUI{
	Color one, two;
	public MyScrollBarUI(){
		Load settings = new Load();	
		Color[] colors;
		colors = settings.getColors();
		one = colors[0];
		two = colors[1];
	}
 
	@Override
	protected JButton createDecreaseButton(int orientation) {
		JButton button = new JButton("zero button");
	    Dimension zeroDim = new Dimension(0,0);
	    button.setPreferredSize(zeroDim);
	    button.setMinimumSize(zeroDim);
	    button.setMaximumSize(zeroDim);
	    return button;
	}
 
	@Override
	protected JButton createIncreaseButton(int orientation) {
		JButton button = new JButton("zero button");
	    Dimension zeroDim = new Dimension(0,0);
	    button.setPreferredSize(zeroDim);
	    button.setMinimumSize(zeroDim);
	    button.setMaximumSize(zeroDim);
	    return button;
	}
 
	@Override
    protected void paintTrack(Graphics g, JComponent c, Rectangle trackBounds) {
        g.setColor(one);
        g.fillRect(0, 0, 20, 130);
    }
 
    @Override
    protected void paintThumb(Graphics g, JComponent c, Rectangle thumbBounds) {
        g.setColor(two);
        g.fillRect(0, 0, 20, 40);
    }
}

--- Update ---

Guys, thanks for the help, I fixed it with this:

g.setColor(two);
g.translate(thumbBounds.x, thumbBounds.y);
g.fillRect(0, 0, thumbBounds.width, thumbBounds.height);
g.translate(-thumbBounds.x, -thumbBounds.y);
