That was one of the first things I tried, and it seemed to ignore the alpha component.

I got it working by not even using glass pane though.

Thanks.  I see what you are getting at now.  It was too obvious for my simple mind  :-/

The background is transparent so the board shows through.  When I try to use clearRect the screen gets set to the background color (grey) and hides the board.

I've tried setting the background color to a transparent alpha but that doesn't work.

Essentially, I need to be able to make a specified rectangle clear and be transparent so I can redraw the countdown.

If there is another way, that would be great too.

            styledText.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, Color.yellow);
            AttributedCharacterIterator i = styledText.getIterator();
            g.drawString(i, 80, 250);
      }

I know this is probably a pretty dumb question, but I'm stumped.

I am trying to use drawString to show a countdown timer.  However, the previous values never clear so I end up with all the numbers overlaying.

I tried to use clearRect but that clears to the background color.  I'm using the glasspane and want to show the countdown over what is already on screen.

How can I remove the text already showing on the glass Pane?
