What have you tried? I googled "java background image" and got a ton of results. Did you try any of them? Where are you stuck?

There doesn't exist no such thing as a 'background image' on any Swing component. You can paint an image on a JComponent and Swing does the rest. You do the painting in the paintComponent(Graphics g) method and Swing takes care of the clipping (in case the component has any visible child components).

kind regards,

ImageIcon othericon=new ImageIcon("images/03_Menu.png");
Others = new javax.swing.JPanel()
{
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(othericon.getImage(), 0,0, null);
super.paintComponent(g);
}
}

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(othericon.getImage(), 0,0, null);
super.paintComponent(g);
}

First let the super class object do its painting and then paint your icon. (i.e. swap those two lines in your paintComponent( ... ) method).

kind regards,
