I have made a JTextArea with a JScrollpane. The colors are dark, so I 
want the scroller to have a darker color then the default. I tried

scroller.setForeground(Color.GRAY);
scroller.setBackground(Color.BLUE);

but they do not have any effect. Why?

The code is:

	outputArea = new JTextArea("", 19, 37);
	outputArea.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
	outputArea.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
	outputArea.setFont(textFont);
	outputArea.setEditable(false);
	outputPanel.add(resultsArea);

	JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane(resultsArea,
		JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
		JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
	scroller.setForeground(Color.GRAY);
	scroller.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
	outputPanel.add(scroller);

Thanks.

Eustace
