    Welcome! Please read the Announcement topic at the top of the sub-forum and learn how to post your code in code or highlight tags plus other useful info for those new to the forum.

    As the error message indicates by "ModifiedStyleOptionsPanel.java:70," look on line 70 of the specified class and find which of the variables or objects on that line is null and either cause that variable to be something other than null or avoid using it when it is null.

    Your problem is here:
    JRadioButton rb1 = new JRadioButton("Set to red!");
    JRadioButton rb2 = new JRadioButton("Set to green!");
    In your action performed method, you are using the class variables: rb1 and rb2. However, when you initialize them in your constructor, you are not initializing the variables in the scope of the action performed method, you are creating local variables which are only visible within your constructor.
    Since you did it correctly for your saying variable, this would appear to just be a typo. Remove the type before the variable names:
    rb1 = new JRadioButton("Set to red!");
    rb2 = new JRadioButton("Set to green!");
    NOTE TO NEW PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HELP ON FORUM:

    When asking for help, please follow these guidelines to receive better and more prompt help:
    1. Put your code in Java Tags. To do this, put [highlight=java] before your code and [/highlight] after your code.
    2. Give full details of errors and provide us with as much information about the situation as possible.
    3. Give us an example of what the output should look like when done correctly.
