Re: hard question about form appearance

["Mayank Aggarwal" <aggarwalmayank@hotmail.com>]

Non Rectangular windows are possible in java using javax.swing.JWindow but
there is a problem with it that it cannot have menu bars and would not
appear in the task bar of windows.

One can use java.awt.Window but it would require a parent Window/Frame where
as JWindow can be created with one.

To get a irregular shape you can probably override the paint method for the
component.

more help can be found at www.jguru.com in the forums/faqs.

Hope this helps
bye and regards
