Setting the Background Graphics for a JFrame

Hi,
I am designing a GUI-based game and intend to set the background of my JFrame to a specific jgp graphic...I can't seem to find any method for setting the background in the JFrame API.
Kindly assist!
Cheers.

Your search is perhaps marred by being too specific to frame. It is generally considered a bad idea to do any 'custom' thing directly to a frame. Try this search instead.

  • UITableView: set different background colors for header and the table

    I would like to set my background color for my UITableView to white and set my tableViewHeader backgroundColor to grayColor similar to the facebook app. When I bounce scroll my table so that you can see above the header, then currently it is white above the header view. I want that to be brown instead.
    In the facebook app, above the headerview, it is a blue color and below the table is a white color. If i try and set the UITableView backgroundColor to brown, then the top will be brown, but so will the bottom. Additionally, all of the unset cells will have a brown background instead of white.
    Any help with this?

  • An applescript to change the background color for all finder windows

    I'll start off by telling you what I am trying to achieve, then show you what I've tried.
    I have a macbook with several HDD's attached. what I want is for each of those hdd to have a specific finder window background color. so no matter where I am in that hdd the background color will always be the same. so for instance if I set the background color of hdd 2 to blue then as long as I see a blue background I know that I'm within hdd 2.
    I've tried setting up an applescript to do this but can only get it to change the open finder window, and none of the subfolders have their backgrounds changed.
    here is what I have so far:
    tell application "Finder"
    tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
    set the background color to {52942, 54484, 31097}
    end tell
    end tell
    so how do I get this to apply to all subfolders without opening each one and running the script.
    thanks in advance for any and all help with this

    According to this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AppleScript/2.1/en/as2039.html
    it seems that the various options can only be set while the window is open and in icon view.
    Rather than manually opening the window of every single folder on the hard drive, it should be possible to write a script to open every folder in sequence, make sure it is in icon view, change its background, then close its window. I have never been any good at the "actions within actions" procedure needed for folders within folders, so maybe someone else with the necessary knowledge and experience might be able to assist in this regard. Such a script would probably take a few minutes to complete while it ran through "every folder of every folder", but it sure would be quicker to have the process automated than to do it by hand - computers are really good at repetitive tasks (as long as the instructions are accurate, of course!).
    On the other hand, you might like to try the following:
    open a few windows in icon view, choose Show View Options in the View menu (I'm in System 10.4), click the radio button All Windows, click the Color radio button under Background, then choose your color. It might achieve what you are trying to do.

  • How can i set the alternating colors for a table rows

    Dear All,
    Please any one help me how can i set the Alternating colors for Table Rows.
    i created a theam there i set the background alternating color to brown and i set the table design properity to alternating. but it is not reflecting.

    Hi,
    The design property in Table properties should work for your requirement. Select "alternating" value for design.
    Please see the API below:
    design
    Determines the appearance of the table. The property design can take the following values and is represented by enumeration type WDTableDesign.
    alternating - The table rows are displayed alternately in a different color.
    standard - The table background has one color. The individual table rows are displayed with grid net lines.
    transparent - The table background is transparent. The individual table rows are displayed without grid net lines.
    Check whether you have changed the right property or not? Also table should contain more than one rows to test this scenario.
    Regards,
    Jaya.

  • How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9?

    How do I set the aspect ration for 4:3  or for 16:9 in Adobe PE12?

    PulcinellaNM
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 Update via a project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so. That is all background information for now.
    As for the question that you are posting....
    I think we need to go a lot deeper into what you are doing. Here are some considerations
    The aspect ratio setting is in the import settings. In Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, the project automatically sets the project preset based on the properties of the first video file that you drag to the Expert workspace Timeline. If your video's properties include a 16:9 flag, then the project settings will have a 16:9 flag (aspect ratio). If you do not want the project to set the project settings automatically, you can set the project settings yourself manually with File Menu/New/Project and then import your source video.
    If a problem exists where imported 16:9 video is presenting in Premiere Elements as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (typical of the JVC .mod file issue), then you can set the pixel aspect ratio under Interpret Footage feature inside the project workspace.
    At this point, I think it best for you to give more details and background behind your question so that we can be sure that we are giving you the information that you need to succeed in your projects.
    If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
    Thank you.

  • Can I invoke a SubVI in an event? and how do I set the background color of a pipe to #0000ff?

    When I click an image or a glass pipe(which belongs to Industry/Chesmitry category in palette), I want a SubVI to be invoked.
    The purpose is to fetch an OPC-UA data from a web service and to write to it via the service.
    We are building an HMI solution which displays an interactive water plant diagram.
    When users click pipes and motors in the diagram, clicked devices should be turned on and off and change their animations or colors accordingly.
    OPC-UA is for communication with devices.
    I couldn't even set the background color of a pipe to "#0000ff", but setting it to "Red" or "Blue" was possible, and I don't know how to invoke SubVIs in event scripts.
    The documentations in NI.com are confusing and lack depth.
    Even silverlight references are confusing.
    How do I do all of these?

    Hi iCat,
    Can you provide some more information about your current implementation so that we can help to answer your questions. Some questions I have for you are:
    Are you creating this project in the NI LabVIEW Web UI Builder or in LabVIEW?
    How are you publishing your webservice? Is this also in LabVIEW?
    How is your webservice interacting with an OPC-UA server?
    How is the certification set up with OPC-UA so that you can communicate between the server and the client?
    Best Regards,

  • How Do You Set the Maximum Size of a JFrame?

    Can someone show me a quick example? The JFrame can be empty, I just want to know how to set it's maximum size. I tried using setMaximumSize() and it doesn't work for some reason but setMinimumSize() works fine.
    I tried it using a BoxLayout and even using null as a layout manager and can't get it to work. I heard that the other layout managers don't allow you to set the maximum size of a JFrame so that is why I tried it with the layouts that I did.
    I tried the following code (imported the necessary classes), but it does not work...
    public class MyFrame extends JFrame
        public MyFrame()
            super("TestFrame");
            setLayout( new BoxLayout(getContentPane(), BoxLayout.X_AXIS)  );       
            setMaximumSize( new Dimension(400,200));
            setSize(300,150);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            setVisible( true );                
    }// end class

    @OP:
    When you repost a topic, please always provide a link to the previous post so people can check what suggestions were already offered (and didn't solve the problem).
    Better still, give a short summary of the advice you have already tried.
    I suggested setBackground(...) so you can see whether your MyFrame is actually occupying the entire real estate of the window. Looks as if trying it out (which I would have done for you if I'd been at home, where my JDK is) would have been too much effort for you.
    I'm pretty much a novice in Swing, but I can tell you this: setLayout controls the layout of components added to the JFrame, not the layout of the frame with respect to its parent container.

  • How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).

    How do i set the background of the table( not of cell / row / column).
    What happens when i load the applet the table is blank and displays the background color is gray which we want to be white.
    We tried using the setBackGround but it is not working maybe we are not using it properly. Any help would be gr8.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't understand very well, but i guess that the background is gray when the table content's empty, isn't it?
    When the table model is empty, the JTable doesn't paint, so its container displays its background (often gray).
    In this case, what you must do is force the table to paint, even if the model is empty. So, you have to create your own table and override three methods :
    public class MyTable extends JTable
    //specify the preferred and minum size when empty
    myPreferredWidth = 200;
    myPreferredHeigth =200;
    myMinimunWidth = ...;
    myMinimunHeigth = ...;
    public Dimension getPreferredSize()
    if(getModel().getRowCount() < 1)
    return new Dimension(myPreferredWidth, myPreferredHeigth);
    else
    return super.getPreferredSize();
    public Dimension getMinimumSize()
    if( getModel().getRowCount() > 0)
    return new Dimension(myMinimunWidth, myMinimunHeigth);
    else
    return super.getMinimumSize();
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    if (getModel().getRowCount<1 && isOpaque()) { //paint background
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
    else super.paintComponent(g);
    }

  • How to set the cell size in a JFrame

    Hello. Is there any way of setting the cell size in a JFrame. The reason why I want to set the cell size is that I want to be sure of their location that when I am placing components on the JFrame. So is there any way of setting the cell size beforehand. Also for the following code.

    frame.setSize(100,100);is the size 100 by 100 is he size of the cell?
