I have created a java program that does not use a JFrame, instead it is using a JWindow. This is exactly what i needed, an application without the windows border/title bar.
The problem is it does not show in the task bar at the bottom of the screen when its running.
Can anyone figure out how to fix this?
Use an undecorated JFrame instead.

I wanted to create an autoclicker that should have different functions. This autoclicker should have a JFrame in which you can make some configurations. I also wanted to offer a way to place the window "up". It should be possible to place the windows in a corner and it should also stay at the top when you are in a full screen. For example, if I am in a game, I want to be able to play the game as normal. While I'm playing the JFrame should stay above the game so I can see autoclickerframe. When I click on the window on which I can make settings, this should happen without the fullscreen window is reduced.
So my question is how this would be possible. I have seen "overlays" like this often already. Isn't overwolfs layout also working like my frame should? Is this even possible with java, if yes may one tell me how?
I want to make my application header repeated image like similar to ccleaner application header , below. I want to also put logo right top corner but when I maximizing the window , it stays in the middle. I am currently using netbeans.
Similar to ;
CSS Background Repeat ,
Okay, well do you have an attempt within your netbeans project? Something visual like a screen shot of your running application that we can work with.
If you have set your panel to the size of the JFrame then you have two options.
1. Lock the JFrame from resizing at all: Prevent Window resizing on Java (Netbeans)
2. Make the application scale/resize with the JFrame: JFrame Resizing in Desktop Application - NetBeans
Let me know if those help.
A lot of Netbeans (in terms of sizing/responsiveness) is about setting the Frame/Panel/ect... attributes so that they are all the same (locked or re-size'able)
I have build an application using the Netbeans Wizard Framework as outlined here and here. I have my application working properly, but the problem I have is that the application does not show in the windows taskbar. I am pretty sure the problem is that the Wizard Framework uses a JDialog instead of a JFrame, but I can't figure out if that can be changed.
If anyone has experience with this framework, please let me know if it can be made to appear in the taskbar.
Changing is quite easy.
Open the form in NetBeans.
Change extends javax.swing.JDialog to extends javax.swing.JFrame.
Save the file and close it.
Reopen the file.
In designer mode, make a change. I usually just change the name of a component.
Save the file.
Undo the change and save the file again.
You should be all set.

don't use more than one JFrames, this's road to the hell, you cann't to setToFront, setOwner, iconify, etc ...
use JDialog or JWindow instead with parent to the one single JFrame
use undecorated JDialog, with setModal() or is possible to set various ModalityTypes too
If anyone has experience with this framework, please let me know if it can be made to appear in the taskbar.
this Swing Framework is long time depreciated
you can use SplashScreen repeatly instead of JDialog/JWindow
I have written a java applet which opens a JFrame (so when run in the browser, it will popup a small new window).
The problem is, when pressing one of the buttons of the window frame, there is a slight delay (cannot move the mouse for 2 or 3 sec) before the window will close/minimize/maximize. The hidden menu actions (accessed when pressing on the icon of the window, top left) work perfectly.
In a development environment non of the problems occur.
I'm currently using jdk 1.6 update 16.
Anyone an idea?
I have solved the issue in the mean time, maybe it will work in your situation as well.
I used to pack the interface items in the overridden "init"-function, but after doing all those in the "start"-function (also inherited from JFrame), the issue seems to be resolved.
I have an application that runs in fullscreen mode and has been working fine. Now I need to add a simple, undecorated dialog and I'm running into trouble. If I run the application maximized but not in fullscreen, the dialog displays and functions as expected. When I switch back to fullscreen, the dialog will not display.
The dialog extends JDialog and only contains a JSlider and a couple of buttons. It is undecorated and not modal. (I disabled modality for testing purposes -- it was a pain to force exit the app every time the dialog blocked input.) I'm entering full screen mode using setFullScreenWindow(), passing in the main JFrame for the app. It doesn't make a difference if I set that very JFrame as the owner of the JDialog or not. Nor does it seem to help if I call toFront() on the dialog.
The dialog seems to be active -- especially since it blocks input if I make it modal -- but just not showing or being hidden. So, is there any obvious trick to displaying a JDialog in fullscreen mode? Something I might be overlooking or omitting?
If there's no obvious solution, I can post some code later. Unfortunately, I don't have time right now.
JOptionPane.showInternalXXXDialog()
methods render dialogs as JInternalFrames.
Maybe you could consider using a JIternaFrame to simulate the dialog box.
And in fact, as M1EK alluded in his answer and I mentioned in a comment, Java applications in full screen mode will not allow other windows to show over them. The Javadoc API for GraphicsDevice reads:
Windows cannot overlap the full-screen window. All other application windows will always appear beneath the full-screen window in the Z-order.
In the end, I reconfigured my application so that it doesn't enter full screen mode until a bit later. This still gives me a fairly class presentation at the start and allows my JDialog to function as it should. The transition to full screen mode is quick and smooth, even in the "middle" of my app.
Do you really want to be in full-screen mode for this app? That's more of a gaming feature - to get more direct access to the frame-buffer, I always thought. Have you read this tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html
Really seems to me not to be the best choice for a Swing app with child windows.
Try to use this. Is not an exclusive full screen but it is close enough.
setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
setUndecorated(true);
