You could call     getContentPane   setBackground Color black      Or add a JPanel to the JFrame your using  Then add your components to the JPanel  This will allow you to call    setBackground Color black      on the JPanel to set the background color

setBackground   is the right method to use  Did you repaint after you changed it  If you change it before you make the panel  or its containing frame  visible it should work

I think what he is trying to say is to use the  getContentPane   setBackground Color the Color you want here   but if u want to set the color to any other then the JFrame  you use the object setBackground Color the Color you want here   Eg   jPanel setbackground Color BLUE

I am assuming that we are dealing with a JFrame   The visible portion in the content pane - you have to use jframe getContentPane   setBackground
