DrawString () method overwrites previous drawings (paintComponent does not clear)

I have this code to draw a specific line (and a specific color), depending on the result of a boolean ( CSGOBot#isRecording()

) method . I am using a method JPanel#paintComponent(Graphics)

to draw a String and I am using a different thread to redraw.

Stream method run

:

@Override
public void run() {
    while (true) {
        frame.repaint(); // This is the JPanel, not the JFrame
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

JPanel-extended class:

public class FrameDisplay extends JPanel {
    public FrameDisplay() throws HeadlessException {
        this.setSize(300, 100);
        this.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g1) {
        super.paintComponent(g1);
        Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)g1;
        g.setColor(CSGOBot.isRecording() ? Color.RED : Color.GREEN);
        g.setFont(g.getFont().deriveFont(14f).deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
        g.drawString(CSGOBot.isRecording() ? "RECORDING (Alt+R to Stop)" : "Record on hold (Alt+R to Start)", 5, 10);
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, the paintComponent method does not clear itself, and the Lines paint on their own when the boolean changes. This is a screenshot of the result:

I am trying to avoid using the method clearRect

as it clears up any styling done on the panel / frame.
