Hot to set component color

Currently designer doesn't support color tweaking. This feature is
planed for Aurora, but we consider changing of colors as a bad UI
design. All colors should be configured in LookAndFeel, otherwise you
are risky to get inconsistent UI application.

And this is a good decision IMHO.

Hi Vladimir,

I guess, that "changing color of component" mean coloring configuration, for
example.
If i try to construct colorpicker placeholder. I put JPanel (Or JLabel) and
set Backgound color for it. On click event invoked JColorChooser.
I see such "coloring" and in IDEA - Choosing color then you customize syntax
highlight.

So, in similar situation setting of colors will better directly, but not
from L&F.

Thank you!
