I "solved" this problem some time ago. Following hacks helped me: 1. window.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("control")); // of course after setting the right L&F 2. to wait some time after adding all components, but before showing content.add(quitButton); try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException e) {} win.show();
But in summary JWindow is one of the worser Swing components. There are also problems with focus.

It always flashes white before displaying the correct background color. In fact it appears to go white, bgcolor, white, and then bgcolor all in a split second. I tested on two different machines (P333 and a P2-400) and both show the same flickering. Is this a know problem or am I not doing something quite right? I searched the Java bug database, but could not find an entry regarding this issue. The code below creates a full screen JWindow which always flickers on initialization. -Sean import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class WindowTest implements ActionListener { JWindow win; Container content; JButton quitButton; public WindowTest() { win = new JWindow(); content = win.getContentPane(); content.setLayout(null); Dimension screenResolution = win.getToolkit().getScreenSize(); win.setSize(screenResolution); content.setBackground(Color.darkGray); // Quit Button quitButton = new JButton("quit"); quitButton.setSize(70,40); quitButton.setLocation(500, 500); quitButton.addActionListener(this); content.add(quitButton); win.show(); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { Object src = e.getSource(); if (src.equals(quitButton)) { System.exit(0); } } static public void main(String[] args) { WindowTest w = new WindowTest(); } } _______________________________________________ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing _______________________________________________ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing
