title: Creating a Blurred Transperent JPanel
body: <p>I'm attempting to make a Subclass to JLabel, which I named BlurPanel. I want the class to act like any normal swing container, only it must as default have a transparent background i.e. (setOpaque(false)) and it must blur the background of the parent frame. So far i've managed to blur BufferedImages and resized them, but when using standard swing layout managers i'm having a hard time at cropping the frame picture to the BlurPanels position. Does anyone have a good strategy to do this? Maybe it can be done without copying the underlying picture?</p>
