	    super.repaint();
	}
}

some code or advice would be very appreciate it

do i have to do a for to check all the tabs and inside the for do if (tp[i]==... ) ? in the paint component ?

First of all custom painting is done by extending a JPanel (or JComponent), not a JTextPane.

If you want different color circles, then you need to pass in the Color as a parameter when you create the custom JPanel.

If he has a strong reason to paint in the JTextPane, then I don't readily see a contraindication for doing this, but would gladly entertain any thoughts of yours on this, Rob.

Something like so (if you wanted random colors)

class Transpa extends JTextPane {
   JTabbedPane jtp;
   private Random random = new Random();
   private Color c = new Color(random.nextInt(256), random.nextInt(256), random.nextInt(256));

   public Transpa(JTabbedPane jtp) {
      this.jtp = jtp;
      this.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
   }

   @Override
   public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

      super.paintComponent(g);
      g.setColor(c);

      g.fillRect(0, 0, 50, 50);
      g.drawOval(50, 50, 30, 40);
      //super.repaint();  ?????
   }
}

If you really did need to do custom painting of random shapes on top of text in the text pane, then you would do it the way you suggested.
