java: I want to use the Gradient style Transparent Background to JFrame. On the top the transparency should be 100% but when going down it should go on decreasing and at the bottom it should be 20%
I know i can use the images already having such effect but i want to provide the themes facility and allowing user to use their favorite images but allow transparency at the run time.
Sun added support for translucent backgrounds to java in 6u10 but it is not formally described in the API. In Java 7 the functionality was formally added to the API via the setBackground(), setOpacity(), and setShape() methods of the Window class.
The behavior is described by Oracle here
Towards the bottom there is a code example for the gradient effect.
The technique will only work if the underlying OS window manager supports it. X11 (Linux) requires a compositing window manager to be installed and configured correctly. This is documented in the known issues of the Java 7 release notes and in this bug.
Only Mac OSX provides transparent/translucent frames in Java.
If you own a Mac, then you should start off by setting the background color to transparent:
frame.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
Then -- I think (I don't own a Mac, yet :P) -- override the paintComponents(Graphics) method:
public void paintComponents(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setPaint(new GradientPaint(
new Point(0, 0),
new Color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f),
new Point(0, getHeight()),
new Color(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.8f)));
super.paintComponents(g);
}
I was actually working in a JFrame extended class with transluscent Gradients in JFrame
