I can't for the life of me figure this one out. Google doesn't seem to be much of assistance either.

All of the other LAF don't give me this problem, but Nimbus has a problem where I can't change the color of a tabbed pane.

How does one change the background color of the the tabbed panel with nimbus? The standard jTabbedPanel .setBackground() does not work

Have you tried jTabbedPanel.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.RED);
