I'm in the process of creating a program that would change a background color by pressing a button. Now, I already have everything set up. The background image is just an image of a rainbow, and when a button is clicked, it would change the whole background color. The thing is, I do not want the buttons at the top...I want the buttons to be in the center (see the images I included...2nd image is what I would like - I just edited it with Windows Paint). Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Buttons extends JPanel{
public Buttons(){
setOpaque(false);
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
Image a = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C:\\Documents and Settings\\adamh\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\rainbow.jpg");
g.drawImage(a,0,0, getSize().width,getSize().height,this);
super.paint(g);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame myFrame = new JFrame("Rainbow Color");
JButton redButton = new JButton("Red");
JButton blueButton = new JButton("Blue");
JButton yellowButton = new JButton("Yellow");
Buttons b = new Buttons();
b.add(redButton);
b.add(blueButton);
b.add(yellowButton);
myFrame.add(b);
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
myFrame.setSize(350,700);
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}
//more code to go here for actionPerformed...
}
