<Swing Dev> Background/Foreground colors and Gtk Look and Feel

[Stijn Debruyckere]

Hi,

Continuing the discussion of Jan 22, 2009, people seem to think there is 
no need to adapt the foreground/background colors of say a text field.  
But how about validation?  For example, the background of the 'find' 
text field of Firefox colors red when the text can't be found.  As far 
as I know, this simple yet powerful feature can't be implemented in 
Swing if one wants to support multiple look&feels, such as GTK or Nimbus 
(as setBackground is ignored).
