never try it before, but apparently changing properties of UIManager before creating progress bar should work. Something like this

UIManager.put("ProgressBar.selectionBackground",Color.BLUE);
UIManager.put("ProgressBar.selectionForeground",Color.WHITE);
JProgressBar progressBar.....

As you named the JprogressBar as current
Change the following in code also,Hope it works!

UIManager.put("current.selectionBackground",Color.BLUE);
UIManager.put("current.selectionForeground",Color.GREEN);

Nah that wouldn't.
I will give it one more shot, I will look up source code for one of the L&F projects I know and see if I find something there
