如何给JButton同时提供ImageIcon和背景色？

Question

Is there a way to do both

button.setBackground(Color.green.darker());

and

button.setIcon(new ImageIcon(buttonImg.getScaledInstance(15, 15, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));

so that both the image and the background color are visible? Is there some sort of transparency setting on the button's image that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

Here is the image I'm trying to use. As you can see, it has transparency. http://www.clipartlord.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/bomb3.png

What I am trying to get is the image to show up on the Button with the background color of green filling in the transparency. Right now when I try to do it, if I add the image at all, the background color is not visible whatsoever. But if I don't add the image, the background color is visible. I hope this helps.

Probably the LookAndFeel does not support what you want to achieve. Here is an image from the meta theme, on the left, and osx aqua theme.

If you want all of your JButton backgrounds to change you can try using a LookAndFeel that supports changing the UI. Unfortunately the aqua them does not let you change the default background for a button even using the UIManager#set

If you only want to do one button, you can change the button UI.

button.setUI(new BasicButtonUI());

That one doesn't look too nice, you can set the UI to one from another LookAndFeel,

button.setUI(new MotifButtonUI());

(Also doesn't look very nice, but now it buttons .)

Finally you can also create your own ButtonUI, or do some custom painting.
