The spec could be clearer with regard to painting a translucent color, but the implication is clear from the term “show through”. Painting a translucent color allows the pixels underneath to show through, so the components that provided those pixels must be repainted. public boolean isOpaque() Returns true if this component is completely opaque. An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular bounds. A non-opaque component paints only a subset of its pixels or none at all, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through". Therefore, a component that does not fully paint its pixels provides a degree of transparency.
