Is it possible, in Java, to make a JPanel
skip drawing its background thus being transparent except for the components on 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));
We can set a background color to JPanel by using the setBackground() method.
The transparency can be set using the setBackground() method. Yes, you might have missed the java. awt. Color class' constructor Color(int r,int g,int b,int a); the last parameter here, does it all.
setOpaque(false)
It'll pass off painting the background to its parent, which may draw its own background.
You can do a screen capture and then use that to paint the background of the panel.
