How are colors of custom editor set? How to intercept/listen it?

Answered

I wrote my example of custom editor

public class LineageFileEditor implements FileEditor {
...
@Override public @NotNull JComponent getComponent() {
return new JSwingExample02();
}


and it returns my custom JComponent:

public class JSwingExample02 extends JComponent {

public JSwingExample02() {
populate();
}

private void populate() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new JLabel("Hello World"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}

It works and draws

As you see, I am using dark theme and my component has inherited it.

How was it done? I have intercepted calls to `setBackground` and `setForeground` methods, but they haven't called.

How to intercept stting of colors in order to have my own derived drawings?

This is done via Look and Feel, and this case Darcula. Some customization is possible via Custom Themes https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/themes-intro.html and access via corresponding "named color" (com.intellij.ui.JBColor#namedColor)
