Image as a background for a JFrame

Question

Hi all,
Is it possible to have an image as a background for a JFrame?
How do you do it?
plz help

Answer 1

i personally inherit a panel...
  class ImagePanel extends JPanel {
      Image image;
      public ImagePanel(Image image) {
          this.image = image;
      public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
          super.paintComponent(g); //paint background
          //Draw image at its natural size first.
          g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this); //85x62 image
  } and call it with
  private Image icLogo =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("icLogo.gif"));
  private JPanel imgPanel = new ImagePanel(icLogo);Well, this should work with frames, too. In case it doesn't, you can simply add this panel to the frame.
