Transparency in java

[daveyboy]

Does anyone know if I can make portions of my java application transparent, ie so that the contents of the program behind my java app can be seen through?

Haven't been able to find anything yet

I would imagine not, since kernel-level alpha-blending is only built into Windows (and only some Windows versions). Well at least, it's not built into every OS that Java supports.

filburt1..... i think you have had to much of the kernal myself. :p

Im pretty sure that JComponent class defines the setOpaque(boolean b) and isOpaque(boolean b) methods to set the transparency of a component.
