For a cost of $4.24, I'll definiately have the following book in about a week:

Swing Hacks: Tips and Tools for Killer GUIs(1st Edition) by Joshua Marinacci, 
Chris Adamson
Paperback, 546 Pages, Published 2005 by O'reilly Media ISBN-13: 
978-0-596-00907-6, ISBN: 0-596-00907-0

Funny, how something so rich in ideas can be so inexpensive.

So thanks for another shelf book, but I won't keep my fingers crossed on me 
building the best of the best in this case.

And, I don't think I'll ever be able to develop the animation totally on my 
own! My implementation would amount to being too slow, etc, etc, etc.

Anyway, what's wrong with just disabling a large window below a smaller enabled 
window?

(I'll probably try to just live with that.)

Does anyone have a project which hints of a light box effect. The code doesn't 
have to be a full blown light box effect.

Thanks,
