changing background on JLabel shifts components
- by Aly
Hi,
The code I am using is:
public class Test extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
private static final Color TRANSP_WHITE = new Color(new Float(1), new Float(1), new Float(1), new Float(0.5));
private static final Color TRANSP_RED = new Color(new Float(1), new Float(0), new Float(0), new Float(0.1));
private static final Color[] COLORS = new Color[]{ TRANSP_RED, TRANSP_WHITE};
private int index = 0;
private JLabel label;
private JButton button;
public Test(){
super();
setLayout(new BoxLayout(getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
label = new JLabel("hello world");
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBackground(TRANSP_WHITE);
getContentPane().add(label);
button = new JButton("Click Me");
button.addActionListener(this);
getContentPane().add(button);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource().equals(button)){
label.setBackground(COLORS[index % (COLORS.length )]);
index ++;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Test();
}
}
When I click the button to change the labales color the GUI looks like this:
Before:
After:
Any ideas why?
