Re: Button insets

Yeah, I mean, we could adjust the borders in Aqua if the button were both setFocusPainted(false) and setFocusable(false), but that still might catch some people by surprise. I figure if you are opting into the special button styles using a client property, there isn't much harm in using another one to hint that the insets should change too.

Ideally, if focus indicators had their own dedicated layer they were drawn in, or a component could dirty outside of it's bounds without causing infinite loops, we wouldn't have to make the component big enough to accommodate both the control and it's focus area - but I digress.

setFocusPainted(false) turns of the painting of the focus, but not the padding that the focus takes up.

setFocusPainted(false) doesn't work??

When creating a button like this:

JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("Java Button");
button.setFocusable(false);
button.putClientProperty("JButton.buttonType", "square");

there is a 4 pixel border added around the button for the focus
ring. What is the recommended way to remove this border? Adding it
to a panel with a negative border?

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(-4,-4,-4,-4);
panel.add(button);


Unfortunately no, there is no way to remove the focus ring border at
this time without hacking around it.

We do have a feature request to allow components to remove the extra
insets for focus rings. I'm not sure keying off of
setFocusable(false) is necessarily the right thing to do, but I'd be
happy to hear any suggestions (another client property,
setFocusable(false), size constraints, any other kind of hinting?).
