Hi i am using netbeans to make a tictactoe game so far this is my code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;


public class TicTacToe implements ActionListener
{
    //Class constants

    private static final int WINDOW_WIDTH = 400;
    private static final int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 400;
    private static final int TEXT_WIDTH = 10;

    //Design
    private static final GridLayout Layout_Style = new GridLayout(3,3);


    //Instance variables
    private JFrame window = new JFrame("TicTacToe");
    private JButton Square1 = new JButton("");
    private JButton Square2 = new JButton("");

    //Constructor

    public TicTacToe()
    {

        window.setSize(WINDOW_WIDTH,WINDOW_HEIGHT);
        window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);// exits the application one the game has been won

        //Add to window the internet helped me to see what this should look like
        window.getContentPane().setLayout(Layout_Style);

        while(win=false);

        }
public static void main(String[] args)

    {
    TicTacToe gui = new TicTacToe();


}
}

I didn't look through all of it very carefully, but perhaps you want to define "notblack" to be a color other than black?

Color notblack = new Color(0,0,0);

It worked just fine for me. I ran your code and the button backgrounds change to show the winning sequence.

I've managed to get the window to appear in the center so no longer need help with this.. Still trying real hard to get the colour to work however

I really wish it was this simple but i changed it to a colour and it made no difference what-so-ever which is highly annoying. Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated

Ive been told that this code:
button.setBackground(Color.YELLOW)
will change the colour of the button which i added to this part of the code
Square1.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
Square2.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
Square3.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
win=true;
}

But nothing seems to have changed- is there anything else that i might need to add to make this work?

Hi ive been working for a few days now trying to figure out how to make it so when a button is pressed in this game instead of just a simple X or O shows up an image of lets say a dog for X and a cat for O or something along these lines- i cannot figure it out so would any one be able to help me?

Use setIcon() instead of setText() in your action listener.
