Maik, The Timer which you are using is a java.util.Timer (not a javax.swing.Timer), so your rendering function is not being called on the Event Dispatch Thread. This could be why you are not always getting the GraphicsConfiguration / GraphicsDevice which you expect (as getGraphicsConfiguration() must be called from the EDT).
In my application, I keep the current GraphicsConfiguration as a volatile instance variable, and update it when the form moves (in the same way as Dmitri's test application). My rendering loop (which runs in its own thread) then reads this value. Hope this helps Mark [Message sent by forum member 'markgrantham' (markgrantham)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=292033 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
