JSpinner - disabled foreground color

I have a JSpinner that I want to be able to optionally disable spinner input, but...

I still want to use the editor part as a display by slaving it to something else. That is working, but when I do a "setEnable(false)" the display turns gray.

I've tried significant options to make it NOT be gray, but can't get it to behave. I've defined
my own Jspinner class with

but that only changes the foreground in "NON DISABLED" mode. I need the foreground to change in DISABLED mode as well.

Any ideas?

As I said, I have my own JSpinner class now so modifying that isn't an issue.

Thanks, that worked. How would a mere mortal figure that one out from the documentation?

My change foreground code is now:

I'm thinking it would get the color from the enabled one?

UIManager.getColor("TextField.foreground") gets whatever the 'default' is,
so should match the enabled one, but you can specify any color e.g.
tf.setDisabledTextColor(Color.YELLOW);

there is no real need to put it in the overridden setForeground().
on it's own in the constructor will do - once set, stays that value until changed,
regardless of whether the spinner is disabled/re-enabled/disabled again

forgot this bit

there are a huge number of methods in the JTextComponent api, so most of your document reading
in regard to text components (textfield, textArea etc) should be directed to "methods inherited from JTextComponent"
