selected menuText color

I'm using a DefaultDockable, which has a menu bar with a title. I'm using Nimbus Look&Feel, and to set the text color of this title I'm using:

UIManager.put("menuText", Color.RED);

But what I don't know, is how to set the color when the menu is selected. Nimbus default for that is white, and I want to change it to black.

Having a look at this, I tried with textHighlightText,controlLHighlight, nimbusSelectedText, nimbusLightBackground, and even tried with menuText[selected]. None of them works for this.

How is it called for the selected menuText?

Solution

  • I would try:

    Menu[Enabled+Selected].textForeground

    This site has a great display of the Nimbus defaults:
