JDK-4034109 - No transparency available for AWT Components and Containers
Description

Would it be possible to install a feature that

a color or an image file, for web-based java

EVALUATION At the request of jim.graham@eng (regarding a series of emails on Monday, December 13, 1999), I am reassigning this to the applet subcategory. jim.graham@eng > Since the Applet class subclasses Panel, this is not up to the browser. > Applets would need a new API to get transparency, or we would have to > relax the opacity of Panel objects.... This isn't AWT's bug. eric.hawkes@eng 2000-05-04
