Hello All,

I would like to know is it possible to create an interface like this
using Java? Shown at this link:

How would I go about coding the outside of the interface to be a
rectangle with rounded corners?
Any useful websites or tutorials to help explain this?

Thanx,

~ Floetic ~

I don't think that is possible with Java.

Google "Java transparent windows" and you'll get some
pointers how to do this: 1) using JNI, 2) with a hack,
3) with the recently used Java core feature.

Look into custom borders. When java paints its GUIs, one of the steps
is paintBorders. If you subclass a JFrame and override that method
you might have some luck.

You might look at "Swing Hacks", an O"Reilly book by Marinacci and
Adamson.
