How to make a window look like Java?

Question

How to create a window that looks like this in Java:

I need this window layout, not the standard Windows borders, and I don't know what it's called.

Edit: appearance and feeling don't work for me:

Answer 1

If you want your Look and Feel to draw a window decor (called a "border"), you need to call JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) before , creating JFrame objects and JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) before , creating your JDialog objects.

Answer 2

called appearance, you can find a detailed explanation here http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/plaf.html

Answer 3

You will need to first configure the appearance and appearance of the cross-platform interface (as someone commented before he called the metal). Then, before creating the frame, you need to request that the borders be drawn in appearance.

 try { UIManager.setLookAndFeel( UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName()); } catch (Exception e) { } 

It will look the way you want. Since the cross-platform appearance is metallic in Sun JRE.

 // Get window decorations drawn by the look and feel. JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); // Create the JFrame. JFrame frame = new JFrame("A window"); 

And this will make the created JFrame have borders as you describe.

To set the window view to the swing view, write the following code in the main method.

public static void main (String args []) {
try {

  for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) { if ("windows".equalsIgnoreCase(info.getName())) { javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName()); break; } } } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println(e); } java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { MainFrame mainFrame = new MainFrame(); mainFrame.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); mainFrame.setVisible(true); InitDatabaseDialog initDatabaseDialog = new InitDatabaseDialog(mainFrame, true); initDatabaseDialog.setVisible(true); } }); } 

Answer 5

Add this to your main () method:

 try { for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) { if ("Windows".equals(info.getName())) { javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName()); break; } } } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) { java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(testjframe.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch (InstantiationException ex) { java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(testjframe.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) { java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(testjframe.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex); } catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) { java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(testjframe.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex); }
