Not sure how you were able to get it work an I can't..

I'm using: Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230233)

If it makes a difference, I'm using NetBeans 6.9.1. I had to edit the
projects' properties to make sure I was running the new JFrame's main()
method. I added a smaller JPanel with a different background, just to
see the effect. My JFrame's initComponents() then included these lines:

setBackground(new java.awt.Color(0, 255, 255));
colorPanel.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 153, 0));

You might verify that at least some of the JFrame's background is
showing.

John:

What is initComponents()? Is that something that NetBeans makes creates
to initialize the frame? I'm curious how making a setBackground() call
in that method is directed to the content pane.

Thanks,
