Text color not changing
I have a custom class that extends JTextArea, I'm eventually going to use it to copy information between two different views but figured I might as well implement a quick dark mode. The problem is my new AttributeSet isn't applied, and I can't tell why. I've used StyledDocument.insertString() before for setting text and background color(working with a JTextPane then), but here it doesnt seem to work the same way. Do I need to extend a different class?

or is there something else that stops JTextArea from displaying colors
its definitely not me extending the wrong class, JTextPane uses a DefaultStyledDocument too
and JTextPane calls the same insertString method
so I'm now even more confused

so setBackground() and setForeground() work but not if I call them in the constructor? Why would that be?
(maybe its because im using the wrong constructor lol)
anyway figured out a solution
