How to change JTextField Color to Be Transparent Color in Java GUI, How to Make Transparent JTextField and same with background frame, How can I make Transparent JTextField, Trick to make transparent JTextField
At the time I make a program in java gui, I got the idea to adjust the colors in JTextField with a background color on the frame. It looks very nice if we have a background image, and customize it.

Cause of that, I've looked for ways to customize the background color of the JTextField. After much looking for a reference, I finally found a powerful way to do this programming trick.

good luck to try trick "way to change the color to be transparent JTextField"

You'll get a frame like this :

In that picture, You can see the background color of frame is YELLOW, And Both of JTextField Yellow too. I'll explain about source of program.

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class Log extends JFrame {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Log frameTabel = new Log();
}

JButton blogin = new JButton("Login");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTextField txuser = new JTextField(15);
JPasswordField pass = new JPasswordField(15);

Log(){
super("Login Autentification");
setSize(300,200);
setLocation(500,280);
panel.setLayout (null);
panel.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);

txuser.setBounds(70,30,150,20);
txuser.setOpaque(false);
pass.setBounds(70,65,150,20);
pass.setOpaque(false);
blogin.setBounds(110,100,80,20);

panel.add(blogin);
panel.add(txuser);
panel.add(pass);

getContentPane().add(panel);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
actionlogin();
}

public void actionlogin(){
blogin.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String puname = txuser.getText();
String ppaswd = pass.getText();
if(puname.equals("test") && ppaswd.equals("12345")) {
newframe regFace =new newframe();
regFace.setVisible(true);
dispose();
} else {

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Wrong Password / Username");
txuser.setText("");
pass.setText("");
txuser.requestFocus();
}

}
});
}
}
_______________________________________________________

Both of JTextField named as "txuser" and "pass". Source Code which make they transparent are :

txuser.setOpaque(false); and
pass.setOpaque(false);

and Source Code wich make Yellow Background is :

panel.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);

You can change the color you like. Good Luck... and Thanks for visit us....
