How to remove the title bar of a frame(java.awt.Frame)?

How to get a frame without any TitleBar?

setUndecorated(true);
This also gets rid of the minimize, normalize, and close buttons from the upper right corner of the screen--so have a way to close and resize if you need it.
btw: do you know how to bring up the API docs?

How do I remove the title bar from a Palm PDA front panel?

On several PDA screens, I need all the real esate I can get. The title bar chews up a lot of it. Is there any way, in the vi settings or programmatically, that I can remove the title bar?
I've already tried the obvious step of unchecking "window has a title bar" in the window appearance catagory of the vi properties. No apparent effect is seen.

Hello,
It sounds like you are referring to the GUI actually on your Palm devices. I believe on Palm devices all applications have a title bar, and there isn't a way to get rid of it. My guess is that perhaps this is a feature you can enable/disable as a Palm OS setting, or may simply be the way the Palm has defined its user interface. If you have your Palm devices handy, check out the display settings to see any has an option to remove the title bars in general. If you find out either way, definitely repost so the community can find the answer here as well!
Thank you,

Removing the title bar

Hello,
I saw in an earlier post that it is much easier to remove the title bar
in 2.0 and that how to do it is in the documentation. Where would this
be documented? All I've figured out how to do so far is make the title
bar, title text, and banner bar be the same color as the background. So
they look invisible, except there is an icon that shows up even though
there is no reference to an icon.
Thanks,
Leila

Hi Leila.
If you edit your portlet through the admin tool - just don't specify a
title bar url or delete the one that is there. This will get rid of the
title bar.

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.

How to change the title bar wdith , scroll bar widths in tune with a 7" screen

can you please help me customize my user chrome section so that I can REDUCE the WIDTH of the scroll bar ( horizontal and vertical ) . That is , at max the scroll bar can be ___ pixels of __ % of total width. ( prefer the relative reference )
Also the title bar ( that black surrounding area that bears the minimize, maximize,close buttons ) needs its width reduced to half of what it is now. How do I do this ?

No. That doesn't work any more. In current Firefox versions native scroll bars are used and you can't do style those via userChrome.css (user interface; chrome windows) and userContent.css (websites). You can try a large theme if you do not want to make the changes via the Control Panel

How to prevent the automatic full-white repainting of an AWT Frame?

Using Java 1.6.0, Windows XP, 1.6.0-b105 Client VM I have the following problem:
I made a double buffered AWT frame. But it still flashes sometimes. It gives one flash about 6 seconds after start of application. There seems to be an incoming event "for no discernible reason". I have overridden all paint/repaint/update methods in my Frame sub class.
These unwanted flashes are caused by the AWT painting the frame in white and then calling paint.
I may have caught these weird calls:
The good/normal case looks like:
java.lang.Exception: Stack trace

The differences in the bad case: (Not all traces of this kind cause the flashing. But after all flashes there seems to be such a trace.)

So how do I stop these unwanted white redraws of the Frame?

Accidentally found the answer:
System.setProperty("sun.awt.noerasebackground", "true");

How to remove the search bar in the tab strip?

My latest firefox update includes a search bar IN THE TAB STRIP on top of the page (not the one in the navigation toolbar). It takes up too much space for the tabs and it is useless (since there is already a search bar below it in the navigation toolbar). How do I remove it?

I was able to fix the problem in Safe Mode. It was an extension disguised as a Firefox original part, named itself as "firefox default tabs." I am not sure how I got it since I have not downloaded anything recently. My Kaspersky did not block anything as well. But, huge thanks!

How to remove the search bar from new tab page?

I've added extra pinned site rows and columns on the new tab page.
The new search bar is redundant and space hogging.
Please provide how to disable in step by step instructions :)
Edit:
Answer
1. Go to Firefox Profile Folder (go to about:support in Firefox then click Open folder/Show in Finder to get there)
2. Open or create the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
3. Create a blank text file, copy and paste this code into the text file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab)
#newtab-search-container, #newtab-search-logo { display:none !important; }
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none!important; }
4. Save it as userContent.css (using ALL FILES under the drop down menu)
5. Place the new css file into the chrome folder.

Fox_1923: You're not supposed to create a new chrome file but a userContent.css file in the chrome folder.
You can use mine and cor-el's code together in the userContent.css file to get rid of the large margin in the top along with the search box. I've used it just fine in the latest Nightly and so have others who dislike the search box.
One thing you could be doing wrong is not setting the file type to all Files and Notepad or whatever else you are using is adding an unneeded extension (for Windows, .txt = userContent.css.txt doesn't work!)
See this for clarification:

Hiding the Title Bar

is there any way to hide the title bar in the frame or dialog.
This is because i dont want the user to close the window from the title bar by right clicking it or clicking the X.

Both Frame and Dialog have the method below which removes the title bar and border. JFrame and JDialog inherit this method.
public void setUndecorated(boolean undecorated)

How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

Hi,
I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
Thanks in advance
Nita

Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

How to replace the icon in the title bar and minimized window

I am not sure if this is a Swing question. But since nobody answered it in the Java Programming forum, let me place it here:
I would like to set my own icon in the title bar and in the minimized window of my java application, replacing the java coffee cup icon.
I am using:
frame.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.gif").getImage())
as was suggested previously in the Java Programming forum at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=5212059
This does create the icon in both places. However, it only works when I run the program from JBuilder 2006. It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar or the .exe file.
How can I make it work for my .jar and .exe file?
Please help! Thanks!

It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar...working example for a .jar

How do you make the title bar display different text than the page title?

I'm looking for a way for the title bar display of my web page to be different than the text in the actual nav bar created by iWeb. For instance, I'd like the nav bar to just say Home for my main page, but in the title bar in the browser say "blah blah blah."
I know there has to be a way to do this. iWeb has actually done it on one page already, but I can't figure out how. I think it picked up the title bar text from the first text box in the page. For instance, the page name in the navigation bar is "blahs for today" but the browser title bar when you open that page says "blah blah," which happens to be the first line of text on the page. The page title in iWeb.app, though, is "blahs for today." But if I look at the source code it lists title as "blah blah."
I'm guessing I might be able to work around by making an invisible text box with the text that I want in the title bar as the very first thing on the page, and hope iWeb makes that the title bar text. I'd rather have a more correct way of doing it.
Is there a way of doing this in the source code without having to change a lot of stuff?
Thanks for any help.

Richard ~ The key is the default Title box that iWeb creates for every new page — it's that which you need to edit, not another text box you've created. And to make the text in that Title box invisible, see here.
