Background colors for Textfields

Hi, In my app I set the background color for some fields if other fields and calculations trigger an alarm or warning. Yesterday, when someone tested the app and made a print screen it didn't show any colors on his screen. It has always showed on mine. I don't even now where to start debugging this ... Can the problem be because I use XYlayout (working on replacing all that since I can't deploy otherwise). Another thing that was brought to my attention was that when drawing a tree (including the default one with food, sports etc.) it doesn't always show lines between nodes. Again, I have it on my screen. Anyone know how to fix this or ever solved a similar problem? Magnus

The "missing lines between nodes" thing is a JRE bug. Not sure when it
appeared or when it was fixed. There are many work-arounds posted for this.
You'd better make sure that you are developing and deploying on exactly
the same JDK/JRE if you want to debug these kinds of issues.

Thanks Lori, I tried to run the app with different LookAndFeel: "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel" "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel" I looked into the redistribute directory under JBuilder and saw that Borland has a LookAndFeel that I want to test. I just can't find what string to use (or what to include or what I need) to even see it. I can work with it during design but not at runtime. Do you know if the LookAndFeel might solve the lines thing?

No. The JBuilder guys applied one of the workarounds I mentioned for
JBuilder, but it is not a part of the "redistributable" packages.

(Now I'm confused about that too). Now, I would like to look at the Borland's L&F in runtime (even if I can't distribute it) or are you telling me that the Borland L&F is only to be used during development and design. Is there a string like: "com.Borland.java.swing.borland.lookandfeel" ?

Borland's Look and Feel is in redist (first time in JB2005!). But it
does NOT fix the lines problem, which was the question I was answering.
You can Google these groups for how to use the Borland L&F. It has been
covered many times.

This just in: Java (JRE) where the colors are missing 1.4.2 Development: 1.4.2 When you say exactly, do I miss an additional number or something else?
