I'm new at this NetBeans/Java stuff and appreciate the help.

How do I set the background color on my initial JFrame when creating a
GUI page? I went to the properties window and set the background
property and nothing seemed to happen. No problem setting the
background on JPanels object.

What I thought of was placing a "Master JPanel" that would cover the
complete JFrame.. Seems "Hookey" but maybe that's the correct way to
do what I want to do..

Thanks...

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class test extends JFrame {
     public test() {
         setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLUE);
         setSize(400,300);
         setVisible(true);
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 new test();
             }
         });
     }
}
