Different colors / fonts in one text area
Can I have different foreground colors in the same text area? Different fonts?
I want to add something like "hh: mm: ss Nickname: message", eventually gray, name is blue, message is black.
I made a mistake in my comment: this is the JTextPane that you want, not the JTextArea.
It turns out that the swing supports JTextPane. See (seesaw.core/styled-text)
which creates JTextPane
s and (seesaw.core/style-text!)
which applies different styles to the text inside the panel.
Using them seems pretty straightforward: first you define the display id -> style
when you build the panel, and then you use that id
when you style a piece of text.
Textarea is a standard HTML element and cannot accept more styles. One way to achieve this is to use an iFrame and style the content inside the iFrame. Otherwise, to achieve without iFrame, choose an editor that supports these features. One of such editors is WMD, which is used on stackoverflow. WMD files here
