#1222 — JWindow : Shape != rectan

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi,

I'm trying to create a window that has not the ususal rectangle form but a 
roundrectangle form.

How can I do this ?

All I can do is create a JWindow and than draw a roundrectangle but I still 
have the underlying rectangle of the JWindow.

Thanks for any help!
Thorsten

Unfortunately AWT does not support non-rectangular windows.

One dirty hack (which requires the code to be trusted) is to grab a 
screen image just before opening the window, and use that as the 
background. Obviously that isn't going to update, but may suffice for 
transient windows (so long as you don't mind your app looking bad in 
some circumstances...).

I believe this is covered in Swing Hacks by Joshua Marinacci and Chris 
Adamson.

I thought I read somewhere that this is a feature request in the
works...  I can't find what I was reading, but maybe someone else
knows.

The JNA project has a demo that provides shaped windows.  You can
launch the web start from here:
