I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? As my program gets enhancements, I'd like to have multiple tabs for different sections of the program.
thanks in advance for any tips
Matt

}
};
for (int i=0;i<titles.length;i++) {
tabbedPane.addTab(titles[i], createPane (titles[i], colors[i]));
tabbedPane.setBackgroundAt(i, colors[i].darker());
}
tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(0);
tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
int i = tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();
((ColoredTabbedPaneUI)tabbedPane.getUI()).setSelectedTabBackground(colors[i]);
tabbedPane.revalidate();
