Answer 1

java.awt.Component does not support opacity/transparency, only Swing components do.

You should take the time to read through

• Performing Custom Painting
• Graphics2D
• Painting in AWT and Swing
• Writing Event Listeners

You have a number issues to start with...

• You should extend from a light weight (Swing) component, as they support transparency
• There is no need to override processMouseEvent, you should use a MouseListener instead
• Your contains method should take into consideration the "shape" of the button
• You should use the inbuilt event management API when adding new listeners
• You should favor paintComponent over paint when painting lightweight components
• YOU MUST CALL super.paintXxx from any paint method you override, there is only a very small number of times when you wouldn't, and then you become responsible for taking over there work
• You need to mark the component as transparent by call setOpaque(false)

Unpressed/Pressed

Now, having done all that, you might like to take a serious look at javax.swing.AbstractButton as you base component
