 <description>&lt;p class=&quot;summary&quot;&gt;
Java&#039;s Swing components have a constant background color used to fill the entire component area. To add interest, contrast, and polish to a user interface, override the component&#039;s background painting and add a  gradient to smoothly vary the color across the background.  This tip shows how and demonstrates the effect.
&lt;/p&gt;
