>Thanx.... This should give you a good starting position. Put an image file into the classpath (I'm loading it trough the classloader). This is a code snippet that puts an image in the background of a DesktopPane... Just change the root class to JPanel and it should work. Note that isOpaque is overriden instead of putting setOpaque(false) in the constructor. JDesktopPane has "return true" hardcoded in isOpaque (i found this after 5 hours of agony), but I think that JPanel can be set up correctly without overriding, but you can use this approach just to be sure.
