Colorize a tab in a JTabbedPane using java swing

Question

I am trying to change the background color of my tabs in a JTabbedPane. I tried JTabbedPane.setBackgroudAt(0, Color.GRAY) and JTabbedPane.set

Answer 1

It may be a problem that there is nothing added yet to the tab.

Try setting the content manager of the content panel to BorderLayout, adding a JPanel with BorderLayout. Center and then coloring that panel.
