How to make JTextField and JComboBox roundcorner borderless and background image?

Question

I am trying to set background image width 100, height 100 and making the border to null. So that i can design the input field looking similar to following, but border is not applying and round corner does not exit + there is no background image apply way around.

// Current
String[] petStringsa = { "eth0: ", "eth1: " };
JPanel namePanela = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JLabel nameLabela = new JLabel("View Inerfaces: ");
nameLabela.setDisplayedMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_N);

final JComboBox nameTextFielda = new JComboBox(petStringsa);    
nameTextFielda.setBorder(null);
nameTextFielda.setBackground(Color.white);

nameLabela.setLabelFor(nameTextFielda);
namePanela.add(nameLabela, BorderLayout.WEST);
namePanela.add(nameTextFielda, BorderLayout.CENTER);

For rounded corners, find a look and feel that does this for you. Nimbus rounds the corners a little. The background image is a separate issue and is well-answered on this site and elsewhere. Consider making JLabel your contentPane and giving it an ImageIcon; just make sure that you make it opaque and give it an appropriate layout manager. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Apr 15 '12 at 15:54
more than half or [Swing Look and Feels](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3954646/714968) implementing Rounded Whatever for JComponents, then why to reinvent the wheel, not good example because right side of container isn's correctly layed :-), toolbar or menu living own life too — mKorbel, Apr 15 '12 at 20:01

Take a look on this resource http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/GUI/translucent_shaped_windows/

I explains how to change the swing elements' shape.

This thread explains how to put background image: How to set an image as a background for Frame in Swing GUI of java?

Although my answer almost duplicates the Hovercraft Full Of Eels' comment I decided to write it because it contains specific links.
