Eliminating focus ring space on Leopard & Java 1.5



Hey!

I have buttons that I don't want to ever get focus (in a toolbar) so I setFocusable(false), but while this does make them non-focusable, the space used by the focus ring is still there. Is there a way to eliminate this space?

Usually I would just set a compound border made up of a negative empty border and the original border:

    button.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
        BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(-3, -3, -3, -3), button.getBorder()));

But this trick doesn't work with these new borders. Somehow they just don't draw anything at all when subverted this way.

I don't see any new client property to control the focus ring or focus ring space either.

At this point I could put the border inside a container with a negative empty border, but that's uglier than I would like it to be.

Do you guys know of anything I might have missed?

(By the way, I'm using the client property JButton.buttonType = square.)

Steve
