How about: draw the image again but don't draw the text over it?

kind regards,

Sometimes I was a Border to draw the background image. This may be cheating...

[CODE=Java]import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image. *;
import javax.swing.bor der.*;

public class CentredBackgrou ndBorder implements Border {
private final BufferedImage image;

public CentredBackgrou ndBorder(Buffer edImage image) {
this.image = image;
}

public void paintBorder(Com ponent c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
int x0 = x + (width-image.getWidth( ))/2;
int y0 = y + (height-image.getHeight ())/2;
g. drawImage(image , x0, y0, null);
}

public Insets getBorderInsets (Component c) {
return new Insets(0,0,0,0) ;
}

public boolean isBorderOpaque( ) {
return true;
}
}
