As &quot;Transparent&quot;, do you mean that you want to see the other windows and the desktop backlground of your OS?<br />
That should be hard to do I guess.

you can make a text area transparent (in Swing) but its making the frame transparent that you cannot do.<br />
You can create the illusion of transparent frame by taking a screen shot of the desktop under the frame and displaying that as the frame background.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Is there any way to make a text area or text box transparent in AWT or SWING so that the users may see the background through them?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Transparent Text Area/Text Box

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
