Is it possible to make a JButton transparent (including the border) but not the text? I extend swing's JButton and override this:
@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 0));
super.paint(g2);
g2.dispose();
}
but it makes everything transparent, including the text. Thanks.
The following should do the trick.
public class PlainJButton extends JButton {
public PlainJButton (String text){
super(text);
setBorder(null);
setBorderPainted(false);
setContentAreaFilled(false);
setOpaque(false);
}
// sample test method
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel pane = new JPanel();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
pane.add(new PlainJButton("HI!!!!"));
frame.add(pane);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
