How to make JFrame transparent? I want to make my JFrame transparent. User should see the background when my JFrame is on top of it.
You can simply create your jPanel using drag and drop, as you always do and then for changing the panel's color and making it transparent or semi-transparent you can use this code: panel. setBackground(new Color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f));
The alpha value defines the transparency of a color and can be represented by a float value in the range 0.0 - 1.0 or 0 - 255. An alpha value of 1.0 or 255 means that the color is completely opaque and an alpha value of 0 or 0.0 means that the color is completely transparent.
In general, to set the JFrame background color, just call the JFrame setBackground method, like this: jframe. setBackground(Color. RED);
I found another solution.
Set the background color of your frame to
// Set the frame background color to a transparent color
yourFrameHere.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
And remember to set the opacity off of the contentpane (your JPanel or other component)
// turn off opacity of the content pane
yourContentPaneHere.setOpaque(false);
