I have a tiny project in which text of a JLabel on a panel displays the time
every second. No big deal. It works perfectly (it's just a test of
something). BUT, if I set the color of the label with the alpha setting,
like this:

 jLabel1.setBackground(new Color(173, 118, 216,10));

as opposed to

 jLabel1.setBackground(new Color(173, 118, 216));

the text in the alpha setting version does not redraw in that the text just
gets overwritten. I have tried inserting things like:

jLabel1.setText("");

or

jLabel1.UpdateUI();

all to no avail. Is there some other call or setting I need to make when
fiddling with the transparency of a swing component?

Thanks.

RON
