hmm ... worksforme, assuming you want to change the color of the cross in the montView and it's set before creating the datepicker. Which swingx version do you have? — kleopatra, Apr 10 '13 at 14:02
1.6.1 ! i used this instruction to solve it, but it does'nt work too : UIManager.put("JXMontView.unselectableDayForeground", new ColorUIResource(Color.GREEN)); — slov abd, Apr 10 '13 at 19:41

since i am in hurry to answer this

but you can use the swingx source code from here https://github.com/cuba-platform/swingx-core/tree/master/src/main/java/org/jdesktop/swingx

then go to the function initMonthview in JXDatepicker.java overwrite it with this one Color.Black you can use your own color. This fix the problem when you have a plaf with the jlabel text color as white and it hides with the background color of JXdatepicker.

 private void initMonthView() {
        _monthView = new JXMonthView();
//        _monthView.setSelectionModel(new SingleDaySelectionModel());
        _monthView.setTraversable(true);
        _monthView.addPropertyChangeListener(getMonthViewListener());
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.SUNDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.MONDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.TUESDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.WEDNESDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.THURSDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.FRIDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.SATURDAY, Color.black);

    }

and then set the color you like then export it as a jar have fun.

or rather you can do a hard job of pluggable Look and Feel.

alternatively you can create a new constructor in the JXDatepicker.java which takes the object of JXMonthview with the particular set of colors

means create a object of

_monthView = new JXMonthView();
//        _monthView.setSelectionModel(new SingleDaySelectionModel());
         _monthView.setTraversable(true);
        _monthView.addPropertyChangeListener(getMonthViewListener());
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.SUNDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.MONDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.TUESDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.WEDNESDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.THURSDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.FRIDAY, Color.black);
        _monthView.setDayForeground(Calendar.SATURDAY, Color.black);

now add

create a new constructor like

JXDatepicker(JXMonthView temp){
_monthview = temp;
 JXDatepicker();

}

export it as jar use it.
