I'm drawing the board with a simple setColor and fillRect, but when trying to add a "hint" (small transparent circle in the center of a tile) using alphacomposite and graphics2d, seems to slowly fade to clear as each of the hints are drawn

g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, g.getColor().getAlpha() / 255f));
g.fillRect((col * pieceSize) + (pieceSize / 3), (row * pieceSize) + (pieceSize / 3), pieceSize / 3, pieceSize / 3);
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, 1f));

Most likely there is something else in the loop

nope just that
it may help to know that it works fine if tje background is an image, but when it's drawn manually with fillrect this happens

oh wait no there is also
Color color = new Color(0, 0, 0, 25);
g.setColor(color);```before the code i sent

Okay. I believe there is more, but I'm not the one with the code in front of me that I could just copy/paste so that any willing person could try it.
