    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    JPanel opaque = createNested(true);
    JPanel notOpaque = createNested(false);

    // Throw it all together
    getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    getContentPane().add(opaque);
    getContentPane().add(notOpaque);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
