    <p>This example compiles fine. And you can see from running the it, the problem I'm facing. I want the JPanels to paint directly on the Desktop, without a visible JWindow content pane. I also need a JScrollpane to be visible in order to shift through the JPanel array horizontally!</p> <p>Appreciate any help.</p> <pre><code>/* * SSCE.java * Short Self Contained Example * * Problem: Cant make the containers scrollpane non-opaque! (ie. transparent) */ package fb; import com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.Toolkit; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JEditorPane; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.JWindow; import javax.swing.ScrollPaneConstants; /** * * @author Aubrey */ public class SSCE { JWindow w = new JWindow(); Container c = w.getContentPane(); JPanel[] ps; Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit (); Dimension dim = toolkit.getScreenSize(); int width = dim.width; int height= dim.height; public SSCE(){ c.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, 20, 5)); JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(c); scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER); scrollPane.setOpaque(false); ps = new JPanel[19]; for(int i=0; i&lt;19; i++){ ps[i]=new JPanel(); ps[i].setLocation(0, 0); ps[i].setSize(400, 400); ps[i].setVisible(true); JEditorPane area = new JEditorPane(); area.setEditable(false); area.setOpaque(false); area.setSize(400, 400); area.setForeground(Color.WHITE); area.setText("Date: \nFrom: \n\nMessage: "+i); ps[i].add(area); ps[i].setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GRAY)); ps[i].setBackground(Color.darkGray); c.add(ps[i]); } if (AWTUtilities.isTranslucencySupported(AWTUtilities.Translucency.TRANSLUCENT)) { System.out.println("TranslucencySupported !!!!"); AWTUtilities.setWindowOpaque(w, false); }else{System.out.println("Translucency NOT Supported !!!!");} //Problem seems to be here --&gt; either the scrollPane or the Container is not non-opaque (ie. transparent)!
