Hi,

can I somehow set the forground color of disabled ComboBoxes because
when disabled the content is very hard to read. For Text-Fields I'm
using the setEditable-method which does not exists for comboboxes.

Tom,

There is not a way to specify visual attributes of a widget for when it is
disabled. But, since the platforms typically base a widget's disabled
appearance somewhat on its enabled appearance, you could experiment with
changing its foreground colour to something darker, or its font to bold,
whenever you invoke combo.setEnabled(false).
