public class LabeledTextField extends JTextField
A custom JTextField component that includes a 'default text' that appears when the field is empty and unfocused. The default text is styled with a desaturated/lighter color to differentiate it from user input.

This component automatically handles focus changes and user input to toggle between the default text and the actual input. It also provides methods to set and retrieve the default text.

Example usage:

 LabeledTextField textField = new LabeledTextField("Enter your name");
