Hi,

I have a JTextArea in a Frame and I have its background color set to CONTROL
so that it will match the system colors (I want the effect of a transparent
TLabel in Delphi).

When I run the application in the Java (Metal) Look and Feel, the
JTextArea's background color stays the Windows CONTROL color and so it
doesn't match steel-color of the Java L&F Frame.

How do I get the effect I'm looking for?  That is, how do I keep the colors
correct for different look & feels?
