Nevím, proč by někdo dát řešení se nová ikona PNG, zatímco Java API dává velkou funcionality pro potlačení metody paintIcon (..).
Nejlepším řešením lehké si pamatovat CheckBox stav je IMO ClientProperty atribut.

/*

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

class TCheckBox extends JCheckBox implements Icon, ActionListener {
final static boolean MIDasSELECTED = true; //consider mid-state as selected ?
public TCheckBox() { this(""); }
public TCheckBox(String text) {
super(text);
putClientProperty("SelectionState", 0);
setIcon(this);
addActionListener(this);
}
public TCheckBox(String text, int sel) {
/* tri-state checkbox has 3 selection states:
* 0 unselected
* 1 mid-state selection
* 2 fully selected
*/
super(text, sel > 1 ? true : false);
switch (sel) {
case 2: setSelected(true);
case 1:
case 0:
putClientProperty("SelectionState", sel);
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
addActionListener(this);
setIcon(this);
}
@Override
public boolean isSelected() {
if (MIDasSELECTED && (getSelectionState() > 0)) return true;
else return super.isSelected();
}
public int getSelectionState() {
return (getClientProperty("SelectionState") != null ? (int)getClientProperty("SelectionState") :
super.isSelected() ? 2 :
0);
}
public void setSelectionState(int sel) {
switch (sel) {
case 2: setSelected(true);
break;
case 1:
case 0: setSelected(false);
break;
default: throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
putClientProperty("SelectionState", sel);
}
final static Icon icon = UIManager.getIcon("CheckBox.icon");
@Override
public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y) {
icon.paintIcon(c, g, x, y);
if (getSelectionState() != 1) return;
int w = getIconWidth();
int h = getIconHeight();
g.setColor(c.isEnabled() ? new Color(51, 51, 51) : new Color(122, 138, 153));
g.fillRect(x+4, y+4, w-8, h-8);
if (!c.isEnabled()) return;
g.setColor(new Color(81, 81, 81));
g.drawRect(x+4, y+4, w-9, h-9);
}
@Override
public int getIconWidth() {
return icon.getIconWidth();
}
@Override
public int getIconHeight() {
return icon.getIconHeight();
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
TCheckBox tcb = (TCheckBox)e.getSource();
if (tcb.getSelectionState() == 0)
tcb.setSelected(false);
tcb.putClientProperty("SelectionState", tcb.getSelectionState() == 2 ? 0 :
tcb.getSelectionState() + 1);
// test
System.out.println(">>>>IS SELECTED: "+tcb.isSelected());
System.out.println(">>>>IN MID STATE: "+(tcb.getSelectionState()==1));
}
}
používání: TCheckBox tcb = new TCheckBox("My CheckBox");
