You probably will have better success setting the UIDefaults
properties using UIManager: However, finding out what the property
keys are is another matter... :-) You can look through the sources of
javax/swing/plaf/basic to see which properties are looked for.

(Basically, it seems you just put "ComboBox." in front of
e.g. "background", "foreground", "selectionX" and "disabledX", where X
is Foreground or Background.)

So to get your desired look, this may work:

UIManager.put("ComboBox.foreground", Color.white);
UIManager.put("ComboBox.background", Color.blue);
// Various other settings for the other L&F properties

depending on where you put it.
