Yes, it's a well known MRJ limitation. Changing the background color on
Apple Platinum java.awt.Button components is probably quite difficult
(first, you would have to define precisely what that means). But changing
the foreground (text) color is not that hard. I put together the
(experimental) Colorfast Kit to prove that point. It also handles
java.awt.Checkbox components.

The kit is available here:
