How can I change an image inside a jLabel just when the mouse is over it??

Question

I use NetBeans 8.1 if it's useful.

I put an image on a label with a click event (is a close button), but I want it to change color to red or change the image (the same image to red) only when I mouse over the label (the image )

the case is that I can't find a way to do it, I only know ways to do it for buttons and panels, but not for images.

Help me please.

Hello Hyst1k

You need a mouse listener.

I think this tutorial helps you:

For example:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("yourFile");

yourLabel setIcon(icon);
