How do I set the color of the radio button's control?

How do I set the color of the radio button's control? No matter what color I specify in the style, it draws the outer circle and inner bullet in black. I want it to draw in in white on a black background to match my theme, but it always draws in black. (I'm actually doing this in a Multi-Button, setting the color of the Emblem UIID.)

I tried the first suggestion, to define the constants. That didn't work. Here's what happened.

I tried it two ways. First I defined just the radioSelectedImage and radioUnselectedImage. When that didn't work, I added both the radio*DisImage values, but it did the same thing. The selected and unselected images worked fine, but as soon as I touched a radio button, it got the focus, and the button was drawn in black, which made it invisible against my black background.

I did find an approach that worked, but it required the use of two deprecated classes. Here's what I added to the init() method of my main class:

    LookAndFeel lookAndFeel = UIManager.getInstance().getLookAndFeel();
    if (lookAndFeel instanceof DefaultLookAndFeel) {
        DefaultLookAndFeel defaultLookAndFeel = (DefaultLookAndFeel) lookAndFeel;
        Image sel = theme.getImage("RadioButtonSelected.png");
        Image unSel = theme.getImage("RadioButtonUnselected.png");
        defaultLookAndFeel.setRadioButtonImages(sel, unSel, sel, unSel);
        defaultLookAndFeel.setRadioButtonFocusImages(sel, unSel, sel, unSel);
    }

The difference here is that I have a way to set the focus images. I can't do that using the constants, which is probably why it doesn't work. I'd really rather not use deprecated classes.

There are theme constants to allow you to add images to the radio button for unselected, selected, etc. Look here...
