This seems like it should be easy: But Alas, what I am left with is a WHITE "S" on a light gray frame, instantly, the timers don't seem to slow it down! How do I get the letter "S' to gradually fade to white? Tried a thread with a sleep method but that kept the frame from repainting until the end.

It is late and my brain just cant wrap around this problem.

Any and all help or direction greatly appreciated!

Kurt

Sounds like something which would sit better on the Swing Forum. Moving.
