Answer 1

1. JLabel is transparent, then have to change its opacity JLabel.setOpaque(true)

2. read Oracle tutorial How to Use Sliders

Answer 2

JLabel is transparent, cannot change it's background color directly.

you may extend from JLabel and override the paint method

or change the bgcolor of panel. You're putting JLabel on panel and when the slider moves, just change the bgcolor of that panel. Since JLabel is transparent, you will see the change.

As for code try adding something like this inside your statechange method

panel.setBackground(new Color(int,int,int));//ints could be slider.getValue();
