Hi all,

I wanted to know if it is possible to realize something like the image
overlays in Win32 Explorer. I want to realize a status indication in a
JTable containing text. Is this possible?

Thanks for any hints,
Peter

Swing introduced the glass pane concept, so if you render your status in a
component added to that pane, maybe that would be a viable solution.

Play around with a glass pane and see if you think it will work...
