transparent JComponents above JLabel

Thread view:

I'll describe what I think I want, which hopefully conveys my intent.
I would like a text label with a (1,2) gridlayout which is a container for 2
JComponents.
The JComponents will register action listeners and visually be just a block
of colour.
I would of course like the text below to show through.
How can I achieve this?

Or should I just *resort* to Graphics and custom paint the JLabel and handle
events via mouse position?

TIA

It's okay I've sorted it.

private int colour = (int)(Math.random()*0xffffffff); // doh! 0x7fffffff
