Answer 1

Hi,
Create your own class that extends java.awt.Label and
override the "public void paint(Graphics g)" method.
the body of this method could be something like:
g.setColor(<your background color of choice>);
g.fillRect(0,0, getWidth(), getHeight());
super.paint(g);
I didn't test this code, it's from the top of my head,
I leave the testing to you.
And if you want a reusable component you could add an
opaque property and only fill the background when the
component is opaque.
Best of luck,
Christhx for your answer, but the problem is that----
i need the label to be opaque, so maybe behind the label is an image or picture, i can't just simply set the background color. Since all things are created dynamic, i don't know what is its background, so can't paint its background properly.
