How to make JTabbedPane transparent?

[bernd_no_junk]

Hi,

does anybody know, how to make a JTabbedPane transparent?
I tried setOpaque(false) on the JTabbedPane and all
its tab-panes, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, i found a workaround for the problem.

Perhaps this is useful for somebody else:

I had a look at the java source code, then - after some
trial and error- implemented a new TabbedPaneUI by overriding
a couple of methods. That did it.

If somebody knows a more elegant way, please post.

Greetings
