Ok, so i'm making a Tic Tac Toe Board, GUI gridLayout. I'm wanting it to look like # of course

What I need to do is set up a black border bottom, so i figure an emptyBorder would be fine, but I'm not sure how to add color to it. I can add the thickness, but really that's just padding since theres not color.

I tried:
panelName.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(Color.black, 10, 0, 0, 0));
panelName.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 0, 0, 0, Color.black));

both of them error out :/

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'd go for a matteBorder:

panelName.setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0, 0, 1, 0, Color.BLACK));

• first parameter: thickness in pixels of the top border.
  
• second parameter: thickness in pixels of the left border.
  
• third parameter: thickness in pixels of the bottom border.
  
• fourth parameter: thickness in pixels of the right border.
  
• fifth parameter: the color
