Transparency for JTextField not working

Question

I\'m working on a log in server & my JTextFields aren\'t transparent when I set Opaque to false.

My code:

//username  
             


        

Answer 1

no idea what you tried, for better help sooner post an SSCCE, short. runnable, compilable with setBackground instead of Image

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;

public class LabelImageText extends JPanel {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public LabelImageText() {
        JTextField jUsername = new JTextField(10);
        jUsername.setText("MyText");
        jUsername.setOpaque(false);
        //jUsername.setBorder(null);
        add(jUsername);
        JTextField jPassword = new JTextField(15);
        jPassword.setText("MyText");
        jPassword.setOpaque(false);
        //jPassword.setBorder(null);
        add(jPassword);
        setBackground(Color.RED);
    }

    private static void createAndShowUI() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("set Opaque");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(new LabelImageText());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                createAndShowUI();
            }
        });
    }
}
