Any way to get at the title bar in JFrame?

I'd like to either add a button to the title bar (title pane?) or override the behavior of the resize button. As far as I can tell, the LookNFeel classes don't allow you to add anything, just change colors, icons, etc. The WindowListener classes don't let you get at the resize button. I don't want to override Component.setSize() (that causes other problems), I just want to have the resize button do something different (or add another button).
I'd appreciate any ideas!

1) You could create your own frame that extends JWindow. This would be quite involved, since you'd need to make it respond to mouse drags, mouse resizing etc explicitly (if you wanted that functionality), but you would be able to add your own custom border, which you could make to look like a system border, or you could make comletely different.
2) I don't know this could be persuaded to do what you want, but you could try adding a ComponentListener to the JFrame to check for resizes, and take action accordingly

IHow could I get these from my MacBook to my phone?
Thanks again.
When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups. You can't view the backups.
Look at the two links I provided.
You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

How can I get back the title bar in Thunderbird 38?

The title bar can be turned on and off in Firefox. In the current version of Thunderbird (31), the title bar is present by default and there is no option to turn it off. In the beta version (38), there is no title bar by default… but I can't believe that there's no way to get it back. So, where is this setting? I can't find it.

I sure agree that the setting isn't easily discoverable, but that's too late for the 38.0 release given that string freezes went in effect already (the reason being that localizers have to translate all UI elements for their respective language).
The respective [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=814571 bug report] has been up for more than two years, but thus far not much progress in terms of a solution acceptable by the developers. I don't know if the extension proposed in the last comment was ever developed and posted.

When closing multiple tabs, is there any way to get back the option of saving those tabs OR NOT for your next session, within the warning dialogue box itself?

For brief period of time, not in FF4, there was the option whereby when I closed multiple tabs, a firefox dialogue box opened warning me that I'm about to close multiple tabs, '''AND ALSO''' asking me if wanted to save those tabs for my next session, or trash them.
The primary issue IS NOT about saving tabs. The primary question here is about getting THE OPTION back to the CLOSING MULTIPLE TABS WARNING DIALOGUE.
The use case here should be obvious. However, since it is clearly not obvious that different people work in a variety of ways, and neither of those methods of working is "wrong" or "right" I will elaborate: Some people, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter why, want to save all their tabs on some occasions, and on other occasions don't.
This preference varies throughout the day. Therefore it is inefficient to constantly go to preferences and change whether or not I want firefox to open all my tabs from my last session. It is more LOGICAL to place an option in the multiple tab warning dialogue as well, for people whose preference constantly changes.
This option was available for a time in most of the Firefox 3 versions. Is there any way to get back this option in Firefox 4?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no need for asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog

* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I made a mistake and deleleted all the sent messages in my mail box is there any way to get all the messages back?

and of course then i deleted everything that was in the trash before i understood that i made the wrong decision ... any way to get the messages back from Apple Servers?
Of course, it's not the real truth, the real story is that i made that on my wyfe's computer and i'm now in real trouble with her!

Unfortunately, I use Time Machine on my own computer (on my nas) but I never been succesfull trying to use Time Machine on the same Nas with my wife's computer ... so Time Machine is not the solution ... anyway that Apple could help? My life will be painfull for the next days !

Any way to get back the apps i bought?

I have a feeling that i lost al the apps i bought for my iphone. During the last firmware update (2.1) the installation stopped, giving me a completely vague error. The only thing i could do (according to the messages on the phone) was to restore the phone. I did choose that option, not knowing that i would lose all my applications (that i didn't backup for quite a while).
So, here i am with my empty iphone. Is there any way to get my applications back? I have a feeling there isn't and if that turns out to be the case, i think i have no other option than to jailbreak my device. I never had the plan to do so because i don't mind paying money for apps, but i'm not going to pay money again for the apps i already bought because i think that's quite ridiculous.
Any ideas?

Thank you! So much! That was easier than i thought and although i feel a little stupid, i'd expect Apple to make this a lot clearer in the interface.
on the page for an app (that i already bought) i have to:
1. click on the price
2. the price changes into 'BUY NOW'
3. i have to click on 'BUY NOW'
4. appstore quits, preparing the app to intall
5. a message appears that i already bought this one, and asks me if i want to install it again for free
I never got to finish this whole procedure, i quit at step 3 assuming that i had to pay again. If anyone at Apple reads this: you might want to put the message in step 5 somewhere else, preferably before you have to click on a price and click on a buy button.
Still thanks for the help

How to draw on the title bar of JFrame ?

Is there any way in which I can draw on the title bar of the JFrame. I want to display animation on the JFrame title bar. Is it possible in Swing! For example I want to display a set of concentric circles increasing and decreasing in radii.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

Unicode in the Title bar of JFrame

Hi
I have a unicode application and I am using the font Arial Unicode MS. I want to show unicode charecters in the title of my JFrame. I am able to show unicode chars in all other controls except for the title of the main JFrame.
I read several posts on the forum and came to an understanding that, the title bar of the JFrame is controlled by the OS.
So I changed the fonts used in my windows also to Arial Unicode MS. But still I see only ??? in place of unicode characters.
Need urgent help.
Thanks
Vineet

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class X {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
 JFrame f = new JFrame("ABCabcXYZxyz");
 Font font = new Font("Lucida Bright", Font.BOLD|Font.ITALIC, 14);
 Container cp = f.getContentPane();
 JLayeredPane lp = f.getLayeredPane();
 for(int i=0, ub=lp.getComponentCount(); i<ub; ++i) {
 Component child = lp.getComponent(i);
 if (child != cp)
 child.setFont(font);
 f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 f.setSize(500,400);
 f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 f.setVisible(true);
}1. You have to use a LAF that draws its own title bar. If your platform is drawing your title bar, you'll
have to go the JNI route :-(
2. If you have a menu bar, it'll be in the layered pane as well, so you'll have to skip over the way
content pane is skipped over...
