Can't create translucent window

Question

I'm trying to make translucent window, I've read many posts that say that it doesn't work in Java 7 at all, some solved this problem, but their ways don't work for me. If I try to make panel translucent, background just bacomes darker. Here's my class:

public class MainCycle {
    public static DrawPanel drawPanel = new DrawPanel();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
              JFrame frame = new JFrame();
              JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);

              GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
              GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
              System.out.println(gd.isWindowTranslucencySupported(WindowTranslucency.TRANSLUCENT));
              frame.setOpacity(0.75f);

              frame.setUndecorated(true);
              frame.setBounds(0, 0, (int)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getHeight());
              frame.setContentPane(drawPanel);
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

}

Output:

Can you help me someway?

Answer 1

Just Move the below line before calling frame.setOpacity(0.75f);

frame.setUndecorated(true);
