Hi letter

You may just add a JLabel or JTextField as the Status Bar at the bottom of your window. See the following code.
-------------------
jLabel2 = new JLabel();
jLabel2.setText("StatusBar:");

contentPane = (JPanel)this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
contentPane.add(jLabel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

I want more, not just display "Loading...", "Ready".I want something looks more excited. You know what I mean? I cann't express the problem more clearly because of my poor english.
