The javadoc for setGlassEnabled () is a bit misleading, saying that "the background will be blocked by a translucent panel." In fact, all he does is apply a full-screen div with the default style name "gwt-PopupPanelGlass" (at least with GWT 2.4). If, for example, your project <inherits> a theme like com.google.gwt.user.theme.clean.Clean , then clean.css supplies the translucent panel that you expect:
.gwt-PopupPanelGlass { background-color: #000; opacity: 0.3; filter: alpha(opacity=30); }
Otherwise, as described above, you will have to minimize it yourself.
