Jbuttons transparent look needed

Question

I am using Java Netbeans GUI Builder for making GUI. I want to give the buttons a transparent (glossy) look.I am using

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

which also gives nice look to GUI but the buttons are still the same boring buttons.

So,how to give buttons a transparent look?

Try the following:

button.setOpaque(false);
button.setContentAreaFilled(false); //to make the content area transparent
button.setBorderPainted(false); //to make the borders transparent

You can have a look at setOpaque(true/false); Java it has information about setOpaque method of Component class.
