JCheckBox doesn't look like a JButton. Yes, of course, I do agree. But did you remember that JCheckBox is after all a sub-class of the AbstractButton and that this beautiful class has the setBorderPainted() with which we can play and do the thing like a mad kid?

// Quite big
jc.setFont(new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,15));
// Make it quite broad
jc.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));
// Set border painted!!
jc.setBorderPainted(true);
// Focus shouldn't be painted
jc.setFocusPainted(false);
// Set foreground, background
jc.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
jc.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
// Add JCheckBox
add(jc);
setSize(400,400);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new JCheckBoxButton();
}
}
