JTable is gray, I want it to be transparent

[Aaron Fude]

Hi,

I have a JTable and I set setOpaque(false) on it, on the JScrollPane
it's in, and on the labels that do the rendering. But the table is
still not showing the color of the JPanel that the JScrollPane is in.
Instead, it's gray. Am I making some common mistake here?

Many thanks in advance!

You probably are, but I can't tell what - because you didn't post any
code. See http://sscce.org.

I quickly wrote a small (< 100 lines) example program which worked OK
for me.

My guess is you forgot scrollPane.getViewport().setOpaque(false);

There you go! Thank you.
