Answer 1

Try this instructional example. It will modify 4 of the JProgressBar's colors. Might be a little hard to see the text colors but here is an image of what to expect. The bar is red on black and the text color is yellow and blue.

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JProgressBar;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

public class JProgressBarTest {

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    UIManager.put("ProgressBar.background", Color.BLACK);
    UIManager.put("ProgressBar.foreground", Color.RED);
    UIManager.put("ProgressBar.selectionBackground", Color.YELLOW);
    UIManager.put("ProgressBar.selectionForeground", Color.BLUE);
    final JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar();

    new JFrame() {
        {
            getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            getContentPane().add(progressBar);
            progressBar.setValue(50);
            progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
            setSize(400, 200);
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setVisible(true);
        }
    };
    }
}
