With Nimbus, make control background color yellow only when control has focus?

Question

This seems like it should be straightforward, but I haven't found a "good" way to do it...

While using the Swing Nimbus L&F, I want to give my controls (JButtons, JTextField, etc...) a yellow background color when they have focus. Other than the yellow background color, I want them to keep all the usual Nimbus styling.

When not focused, I want them to be drawn with the normal Nimbus styling.

The only way I've found to do this is to rewrite the control[Focused].backgroundPainter for every single control (which would amount to rewriting a large part of Nimbus from scratch).

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Nimbus Default provide simple matrix for Nimbus Look and Feel, but required to override all related Mouse and Focus events, without overriding ... could be only,

from code

import com.sun.java.swing.Painter;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class NimbusJPanelBackGround {

    public NimbusJPanelBackGround() {
        JButton btn = new JButton("  Whatever  ");
        JButton btn1 = new JButton("  Whatever  ");
        JPanel p = new JPanel();
        p.add(btn);
        p.add(btn1);
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocation(150, 150);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo laf : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                if ("Nimbus".equals(laf.getName())) {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf.getClassName());
                    UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().put("Panel.background", Color.white);
                    UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().put("nimbusFocus", Color.blue);
                    UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().put("Button[Focused+MouseOver].backgroundPainter",
                            new FillPainter(new Color(127, 255, 191)));
                    UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults().put("Button[MouseOver].backgroundPainter",
                            new FillPainter(new Color(127, 255, 191)));
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                NimbusJPanelBackGround nimbusJPanelBackGround = new NimbusJPanelBackGround();
            }
        });
    }
}

class FillPainter implements Painter<JComponent> {

    private final Color color;

    public FillPainter1(Color c) {
        color = c;
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics2D g, JComponent object, int width, int height) {
        g.setColor(color);
        g.fillRect(0, 0, width - 1, height - 1);
    }
}
