I tried something similar a while ago. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=75768
I'm not sure if my situation applies though. I think you're looking for a transparent panel with opaque buttons. I was looking for a fully transparent panel to capture mouse events.

At any rate, if you're interested in my situation, you can try the following
1: add simple JFrame

Code: Select all

class MyFrame extends JFrame { public MyFrame() { this.setSize(400, 800); JButton jb = new JButton(); jb.setText("push me"); this.add(jb); } }
2: change your vlcArgs to use no-overlay

Code: Select all

vlcArgs = new String[] {"--plugin-path=C:\\VLC\\plugins", "--no-overlay"};
3: add code to create transparent MyFrame (I placed it underneath AWTUtilities.setComponentMixingCutoutShape)

Code: Select all

MyFrame transparentFrame = new MyFrame(); AWTUtilities.setWindowOpacity(transparentFrame, 0.10f); transparentFrame.setVisible(true);
Run the sample, and bring MyFrame to the front.

In this case you'll have semi-transparency. It will be ugly (lots of flickering), but you can decrease the setWindowOpacity to .01f to get full transparency.
Hope this helps
