Probably, this question has been asked: How do I add a background image to a JDesktopPane. I have already atttempted the following:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ImageIcon waterMark = ImageLoader.loadIcon(&quot;PTSW<wbr />atermark.g<wbr />if&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (waterMark != null) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;System.out.println(&quot;**** setting the DeskTop with PTS water mark ****&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;JLabel l = new JLabel(waterMark);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;l.setOpaque(true);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;deskTop.add(l, JLayeredPane.FRAME_CONTENT<wbr />_LAYER);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;deskTop.setBackground(new Color(0x99, 0xCC, 0xCC));<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } else {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; System.err.println(&quot;**** PTSWatermark.gif could not be found ****&quot;);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
where ImageLoader.loadIcon() simply loads the image. &nbsp;From the println statements, I know that the ImageIcon object is not null. &nbsp;Can any one help? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Background image in a JDesktopPane

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.
