[FIXED] Java JLabel background color cant be changed using Netbeans

Issue

I created JFrame and jLabel using NetBeans design view. I changed jLabel background color by changing background color property from Netbeans design view properties panel. But jLabel background color didn't change. Is there any other property that I should change before changing the background color of a jLabel?

Solution

You'd need to set opaque to true

yourLabel.setOpaque(true);

(Or tick the opaque box in the label's properties in design view in NetBeans)
