How can I change a JPanel's opacity when focused?

Question

I'm trying to make my JPanel change opacity when focused.

Right now, I use this;

Main main = new Main();
Main.setOpacity(0.75f);

This works fine but is there any way I can make the opacity go down when the JPanel is not focused and then back up to .75 when it regains focus?

Answer 1

This can be solved by implementing a FocusListener.

the method public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) sets the opacity to 0.75 and the method public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) decreases the value according to your needs.
