How to completely remove a button's background instead of just hiding it

Question

I'm trying to create this game in Java for my school A-level course. I'm currently trying to use an individual button for each of the squares and cannot in any way remove the buttons's background. I've tried setBackground(false) which hides the background, but it is still there so still clickable, which you can imagine completely screws up the board.

Ultimately what I'm asking is how to make a button from a picture the same size as the picture, without any extra backgrounds at all, not just hidden.

Here is a picture of what I mean:

Any help/suggestions would really be appreciated, I'm desperate!

You said "I've tried setBackground(false) which hides the background". Let's see the method you created that uses that code. — Java42, Feb 25 '13 at 18:43
