public class GradientButton extends JButton{

public GradientButton(String text, Color startColor, Color endColor){
super(text);
this.startColor = startColor;

}
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g.create();
// Create a gradient paint
GradientPaint gradientPaint = new GradientPaint(
new Point2D.Float(0,0), startColor,
new Point2D.Float(0,getHeight()), endColor
);
g2d.setPaint(gradientPaint);
// Fill the button background with the gradient
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
super.paintComponent(g);
g2d.dispose();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Gradient Button");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
GradientButton button = new GradientButton("Button", Color.GREEN, Color.BLUE);
frame.add(button);
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
