Hi guy,
In my swing application I need a custom Frame that has a different look and feel than the usual JFrame. I want to remove the title bar and minimize, maximize and close buttons and provide my own buttons. I do not want to modify the JFrame box shape. To start out I know I have to customize the JWindow class. If any one has done this kind of work before could you please guide me through the process, or if there is some third party tool that could provide such kind of ui customization will be a lot helpful for me.
Thanks in advance.

I would be surprised if that were possible...

You could use the Frame.setUndecorated method. Then you could
add your own panel, with custom buttons, to the frame. You would
have to implement your own methods for resizing and moving the
frame.

Hi
Thanks for the post Randall. This is good start for me. Now I can define my own close, max and min buttons on the frame, instead of using the boring old windows style buttons. I have got the basic platform to work on. Need to define more customization for my JFrame.
Thanks once again.

Hi Ilja Preuss
you need to take a look at the Sun Java (TM) Studio Enterprise IDE.
