how to create a new minimize/restore/close button on a undecorated frame

hi there.

i just want to ask. how to do this.

i have a frame. (undecorated)
i made it undecorated because it will act as a splash screen.
but now, i want to make its own minimize/restore/close button on it.

any idea?

thanks.

Make it decorated?

If you are using 1.6, java has a built in SplashScreen class. For previous versions you can use a JWindow and override the paintComponent to draw a background image on it.

transparency?

Search on my recent posts in this forum; I explained to someone else how to minimize / restore just a week or so ago. Maximizing is similar.

Do I understand you correctly that you wish to add this functionality on the splash screen?
If yes, then that is extremely bad usability.

Splash screens are meant to keep the user "occupied" till the application loads. They might also be used for advertisement or providing the user a feedback on the initializing activity if required. Splash screens typically only last (should) a few seconds.
