I need to look at it closely, I do not understand why we made the native layer opaque=NO by default while the java code uses opaque=true by default. And then we reset the native code from NO to yes by the code above. Why we cannot make both native/java use true/YES and when necessary it will be reset to false/NO by the existing code(via LWWindowPeer.setOpaque() and LWWindowPeer.updateOpaque?)
BTW Probably implementation of LWWindowPeer.setTextured() should call the updateOpaque() as well.
