setting foreground of a disabled text field

[Jennifer Sohl]

Hi. I am trying to set the foreground of a disabled text field to a different color. I tried using :

UIManager.put("TextField.inactiveForeground",Color.black);  

However, that did not work. I am using a custom class that I have created for all of my text fields that extends JTextField, with an inner class extending PlainDocument. Is this part of my problem? If so, why, and what do I need to do?
I changed the UIManager default for disabled foreground on a custom Combo Box that I created, which extends JComboBox.
What is different about these two components?
Thanks for any help!

Yep, it's something to do with your extended classes... this works on default JTextFields. (At least in JDK 1.4.1)
