I am no expert in this area, and I've never used that feature. There is a sun-internal AWT API that was introduced with JDK6u10, with that you can set the traparency of the main window: window.setUndecorated(true); com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities.setWindowOpaque(window, false);
But be aware that there are some general performance problems with it on the java side. Furthermore I guess SRC is probably better suited for coloring the window. - Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=331759 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to lists...@java.sun.com and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
