midp 2.0
Java SE 5.0
J2ME version 2.2

This code creates an image with white background with circle filled with a
light green color:
Image image = Image.createImage(60,60);
Graphics s = image.getGraphics();
s.setColor(0xCCFFCC);
s.fillArc(0, 0, 60, 60, 90, 360);

But I don't want the white background, I want the background to be
transparent... This image is put into a sprite and displayed on the screen.
And I very much would like to remove the white background of the image
object - it would greatly improve the layout...

This image is created during program execution... so I cannot fix this using
Photoshop or any other image edititing software

So please come with suggestions on how to make the white background
transparent

You can create images with alpha support using BufferedImage and such. I'm
not aware of MIDP supporting (partially) transparent images created in code
without a bit of a workaround. Said workaround involves creating a PNG
compatible byte[] from your original pixel data and pass it to
createImage(byte[] imageData);
