Q: How can I force <strong>Java</strong> not to draw the background?<br />
I have the following problem: I display a .gif image on a panel with the g.drawIcon()<br />
method. If I now display the image of a car on a track then the background of the<br />
image (black) gets displayed, too.<br />
How can I force java not to draw the background?<br />
I tried the setXORMode(Color col) method which filters the given color out but this<br />
ruins my image.<br />
Answer: Just make your GIF image have a transparent background. <strong>Java</strong> already<br />
handles drawing GIFs with transparency. The black color in your car image is not the<br />
transparency color of your image.<br />

Q: I was wondering how to create a Directory Dialog, just like the FileDialog<br />
class, but for selecting directories instead of files.<br />
I'm sure this has been done, and I apologize if it is in a FAQ. Just point me in a<br />
direction, and I will go. Swing or AWT is fine.<br />
Answer: In Swing, you can use JFileChooser and set it up to choose a directory. See<br />
the API docs for details.<br />
