Transperancy and

Hays Guys!

I need help on something,

I am making a java application and I want to set a washed out Image as the background on a JPanel.

I had that work by adding The image on the Jpanel and then adding another panel with its background set as follows (new Color(255,255,255,180))!

I got the effect I want but the problem is that as I move through the application wierd things start happening, I see some components in the background at the back. I tried adding repaint() and validate() frequently but I still get that effect!

Any Ideas of how to overcome that problem?

Thanks for your help!

> as I move through the application wierd things start happening,

Doesn't really describe the problem.

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program[/url] (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] so the code retains its original formatting.

I'm thoroughly unclear on what exact problem you're having, too, but one useful point to note is that if you want a JPanel to be non-opaque you will need to call setOpaque(false) on it.
