I think you can do this using the UIDefaults class.  I have not tried it, 
but I think it goes something like this:

	UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
	defaults.put( "ScrollBar.shadow", Color.blue );

As far as I can tell, the names of the properties used by the various 
Swing look-and-feel classes is not documented, but they are easy to find 
by looking at the source code.  For example, MetalScrollBarUI uses the 
following properties for its colors:

	ScrollBar.shadow
	ScrollBar.highlight
	ScrollBar.darkShadow
	ScrollBar.thumb
	ScrollBar.thumbShadow
	ScrollBar.thumbHighlight
