Call setOpaque(false); on your window. Then, when you repaint it, do
something like:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
Composite oldComposite = g.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
g.fill(getBounds());
g.setComposite(oldComposite);
//Rendering code
}

translucent/semi-transparent would be a very very cool thing
to have.
Is this possible yet with 1.4? If not, how about 1.5?
Is this feature really that hard to implement?
I'm asking honestly, I don't know what's required in the JVM to make
this happen. But since both OS X and WindowsXP seem to do this all the
time now, I have to assume most of the "hard" code already has been
written in those platform's native libraries.
