Bold titledBorder

I tried doing

UIManager.getDefaults().put("TitledBorder.font", Font.BOLD);
contentPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder("Client Downloader"));

But it's not making it bold. It just looked spaced apart.

Is that the wr开发者_运维百科ong way?

You mark the question as accepted, but the comment says its not working. I would agree it should not be working.

Font.BOLD

is not a Font. It is a property of a Font. If you want to change the font you can do:

TitledBorder border = new TitledBorder(...);
border.setTitleFont( border.getTitleFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC) );

I added the italic just to show you the code works, since it appears to me that in the Metal LAF the default is for a Bold font.

Set the font when you create the border instead. Something like:

 new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.WHITE, 1), "Client Downloader",
                                 TitledBorder.LEFT, TitledBorder.TOP, Font.BOLD);

You can try following code change font or font size what u said in question.

UIManager.getDefaults().put( "TitledBorder.font", new javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource( new Font( "Arial", Font.BOLD, 12 ) ) ) ;

TitledBorder seems to have a constructor where you can specify the font >>>
