title: How to change the color of a JSplitPane
body: <p>I have written a small program, while reading a book about swing, that creates a JSplitPane between two labels.
  The problem is that the JSplitPane can barely be seen (at least in my operating system - MAC OS Lion) and setting some properties on it (like foreground color) does not seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>//Demonstrate a simple JSplitPane
  
  
  package swingexample4_6;
  
  import javax.swing.*;
  import java.awt.*;
  
  public class SplitPaneDemo {
  
      //constructor
      public SplitPaneDemo()
      {
          //Create a new JFrame container.
          //Use the default border layout
          JFrame jfrm = new JFrame("Split Pane Demo");
  
          //Give the frame an initial size
          jfrm.setSize(380, 150);
  
          //Terminate the program when the user closes the application
          jfrm.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  
          //--Make two labels to show the split pane
          JLabel jlab = new JLabel(" Left side: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
          JLabel jlab2 = new JLabel(" Right side: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");
  
          //Set the minimum size for each label
          //This step is not technically needed to use a split pane,
          //but it enables the split pane resizing features to be
          //used to their maximum extent
          jlab.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(90, 30));
          jlab2.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(90, 30));
  
          //--Create a split pane
          JSplitPane jsp = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, true, jlab, jlab2);
  
          //Code to get a list of component names in the console
          Component[] listComponents = jsp.getComponents();
  
          String theList;
          for (Component myComponent: listComponents)
          {
              theList = myComponent.toString();
              System.out.println(theList);
          }
  
  
          //Add the split pane to the content pane
          jfrm.getContentPane().add(jsp);
  
          //Display the frame
          jfrm.setVisible(true);
      }
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          //Create the frame on the event dispatching thread
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
  
              @Override
              public void run() {
                  new SplitPaneDemo();
              }
  
          });
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can change its color , so that it can really stand out?
  Thank you.</p>
