Title bar in flex

friends i am developind flex windowed application using flex 3. I don't want the title bare of windowed application. i want application like panel. how to remove the titlebar from the application.
i set the propery showtitlebar=false; but this is not working.
is there any other way to remove the titlebar to bring the application like panel.
it is urgent.

In the AIR -app.xml file, set systemChrome to none:
<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
You may have to implement moving and resizing by hand:

Then in the WindowedApplication, use a Panel container width / height 100%.

Detecting when user clicks title bar of TitleWindow

I am just beginning to dabble in Flex and am loving it so
far. I can't seem to figure out how to detect when a user clicks
the title bar of a TitleWindow. Could someone please give an
example of the correct way to detect this? How do you tell the
application to dispatch an event only when the title bar is clicked
and not the contents of the TitleWindow.
Thanks!

Subclass TitleBar and add a mouseDown event handler to the
protected titleBar property (of type UIComponent). That event
handler will execute when a person clicks down in the header.

Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?

My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!

Clicking on enclosing folder's icon in the title bar doesn't open Finder

I create PDF booklet from Mellel document using PDF service. Preview application opens newly created PDF document. I Command+click on its icon in the document window's title bar, move cursor one level lower and click on the encompassing folder's ("temp") icon. I expect new Finder's window to open and show me PDF document selected. However, Finder doesn't open. Disk permissions repaired. One week old clean Leopard installation. When I click on the icon in the TextEdit window's title bar and do the same, encompassing Finder's folder opens in a new window. Word also opens Finder window. ONly Preview doesn't work. It used to work at least one month ago. Where the problem could be?

Please post the solution so it will help others, and mark this topic as "solved" so it is easier to track the status when browsing the forum.

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
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    Image img;
    try
      java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(getClass().getResource("Save.gif"), "Save.gif");//correct capitalization required
      if (url != null)
        img = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(url);
        f.setIconImage(img);
    catch(Exception e){}//do nothing - default will display
    f.setSize(200,200);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){

Why do I have two title bars - one with the title of the page I'm looking at and another with the new orange drop down menu? Plus I can't get FF4 to save my tabs, even when I go to about:config, why is that?

I downloaded FF4, thinking that it would merely update from my previous installation, but all my tabs were gone. FF looks really weird - here is a link to a picture of it: http://tinypic.com/r/2mwdus4/7 - I have two title bars, my bookmarks toolbar is missing and the tabs are on the bottom. If I go to view => toolbars and click one of them, suddenly the second title bar (with the orange menu) disappers and my bookmarks toolbar comes back (even if I don't click on it in "view"). I can't get the browser to remember my tabs between sessions even though I set it to remember them in my settings. I even changed the browser.showQuitWarning to true in about:config, but it didn't work. What is going on?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

The main problem:
I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
Background:
I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.

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.

Change the colour of title bar of frame

how can we change the colour of title bar of any frame?

i want to have control of the title bar.there must be some way out.look & feel gives it colour of that perticular types colour(motif,met,native).but i want my choosen colour for it.if you have any direction to solve it please suggest me that.

How can I change the color of a title bar?

Ok, I have been looking for this answer for over a week now and nobody
has yet given me an answer that works. So I am going to ask again.
Here is a piece of code you can run to see what I am trying to do:
public class RemoteDisplayFrame extends JFrame {
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
public RemoteDisplayFrame() {
super();
public RemoteDisplayFrame(String title) {
super(title);
public void setBorderContent() {
this.setUndecorated(true);
JRootPane rootPane = this.getRootPane();
rootPane.setWindowDecorationStyle( JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG );
this.setRootPane( rootPane );
public static void main( String [] args ) {
RemoteDisplayFrame frame = new RemoteDisplayFrame( "Test Frame" );
frame.setBorderContent();
frame.pack();
frame.show();
Run this code and you should get a frame on your screen that has no
close buttons, minimize buttons, or maximize buttons, and no menu.
I want to change the title bar's color to a specific color.
That color is GRAY70:
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
If you have any idea on how to do this please do tell.

AFAIK, you can't. I believe the title bar is rendered by the operating system, using the colors the user has chosen, consistently for all windows. Frankly, if your app could, it would annoy me, as I would still want all my windows to look consistent.

Change the background color of a title bar

I'd like to know if it's possible to change the background color of a swing application title bar.
Thanks in advance.

In Windows I think you can change the overall look of the desktop - Standard Windows comes with a bluish scheme, but you can change that, say to something like greenish. On NT you do it using right click on desktop > Properties > Apperance > Scheme etc etc.
So I think Frame title colour is very much a OS specified thing.

Is there a way to modify the name displayed in the Title Bar at the top of the Audition Window?

It's not uncommon for me to have a copy of Audition versions 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 all open at the same time if I'm doing some editing for a complex project.
It would be handy for me to quickly see which window I have open without having to recognise the icons of the different versions. At the moment, each Title Bar just displays the Audition icon and the words "Adobe Audition". I'd like to add the version number to the name, if it's possible. I'm happy to edit the Windows Registry, if that is what is needed.
Does anybody know where the Title Bar information is stored?

I have an answer you might like Howard.
You could simply export one title to a PRTL file, then duplicate it using an Excel VB macro to change the name of the file based on a list in an excel file. You could type in a couple of dates, then just drag down to the 365th row and all of the dates would be there waiting for the macro to rename the file. Then, if you are really talented, you could find the appropriate text in the XML file and change it to match the name of the title, but without the PRTL extension.
That way the font and position and style would all be right and the effort would be in a file you could share with the world.
Hmmm. I might have to try that myself one of these days. Could come in handy. If you are more comfortable with Word than Excel, create the dates in Excel and paste them into a table in Word. Just be careful not to mess up the
Edit: Oh, and of course, you import the titles back into Premiere Pro.

I want to hide the blue title bar from my adobe air application

Hello
I'm doing an aplication with Flash CS4, using adobe air in as3. I have some frames, and in the frame 25 there's a stop, when user clicks a button, go ahead to frame 27 and stage resize the whole screen, just like a FULL_SCREEN, and then I load an pdf. I can't use FULL_SCREEN or FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE property, because doesn't works the pdf loaded (even adobe help say it), so I would like to simulate it. The application it will be use in windows ( I am not sure if XP, vista, but windows). So when resize the stage, to load pdf, then and ONLY then, I want the title bar disappears, just to simulate full_screen.
How can I do, to make in a desktop application that ?
Thanks in advance

Open the Air Application descriptor file(eg: airproject-app.xml) for your application and
uncomment the <systemChrome></systemChrome> tag.
Set it to none like:
<systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
It will work.

After installing the add-on compatability add-on, Firefox will no longer load web pages or allow me to enter anything in the address bar and has added an additional title bar at the top of the page.

When I open Firefox now, instead of opening up the standard Mozilla start page, it simply opens up a new tab page. Typing in the address bar and then hitting enter results in the address bar being cleared and the page staying the same. Attempting to send feedback via the add-on just opens another new, blank tab. For some odd reason, the Windows title bar has also come back above the orange Firefox button and the tabs.
I am unable to access the add-ons page to uninstall the add-on compatibility add-on to see if that will solve my problem and I have tried uninstalling the beta and reinstalling it, but the problem still remains.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
