Please post an SSCCE. Right now I get compiler errors about missing class "Screen". Since that's doing the actual full screen handling we can't test anything.

That said, overriding the paint method is the AWT way to go. In Swing you override paintComponent. However, JFrame (and JWindow and JDialog) don't have that method; instead you should set its content pane to be some container (usually JPanel) that does override paintComponent.

You're still overriding paint. Like I said, you should override paintComponent instead:
After a short black screen I now get a pink-ish background with grey letters "This is FullScreen".
