I want to show JLabel but want to hide JFrame border and other lower level containers like JPanel. It just JLabel displayed on the screen.
I tried window transparency but following piece of code hides everything if trying to work with window opacity. On decreasing windowOpacity , even JLabel becomes blurred. I tried with JPanel as well but couldn't get exact output. I want this behaviour in jdk1.6 only I want the JLabel content to be visible properly without any opacity impact but backbround must be purely transparent.
public class TEST {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sanjaal Corps - Windows On Top Demo!");
frame.setSize(400, 100);
frame.setLocation(100, 150);
com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities.setWindowOpacity(frame,0.4f);
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.add(new JLabel("TESTING"));
frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
I tried with solution provided http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/140041-make-a-jpanel-transparent-to-see-the-desktop-behind/
But the problem here is if we minimize or maximize the window , then a constant color being set, So found its not the best solution or may say the Perfect one.
