Appendix 13：Specification for window's contentPane become transparent by uesed BeautyEye

First of all declare,this is not BeautyEye's bug，actually this is official's Window Transparency come true,JFrame(include JDialog)'scontentPane actually is JPanel,it is considered be a part of window，it has be transparented when other component be transparented by official's Window Transparency API（I did not see the source code,it is not exactly now.）.But it is reasonable,because it will be able to make transparent you also have never thought of the scene.

Solution： Add a new JPanel on contentPane.
