Answer 1

I found another solution.

Set the background color of your frame to

// Set the frame background color to a transparent color
yourFrameHere.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));

And remember to set the opacity off of the contentpane (your JPanel or other component)

// turn off opacity of the content pane
yourContentPaneHere.setOpaque(false);
