There is no way to change the transparency of the HUD. This visual attribute is defined by Apple’s user interface guidelines.

Might be a stupid question but how to I set how transparent the HUD is?
Also does this degrade fine in Java 5 on windows?

Hi Ryan,

If you’re using Java 6 update 10 or greater on Linux, you should automatically get the transparency. If not, let me know what version of Java your running with.

Ken,
Great job on the HUDs. I am currently using mac widgets on mac, windows, and linux and was wondering if there were any plans or you had any tips on how to make the HUDs transparent in Linux.

Thanks!
Ryan

Note that with the latest JDK7 builds setting window background on non-Mac platforms is enough as well, and you don’t have to use AWTUtilities methods…
