How to set three-dimensional border for JDialog with rounded corners?

Question

I could add a rounded corner border to my JDialog, as in How to create a rounded header border in Java Swing . But this is another color. I want the border to look like 3D.

This is how I tried.

Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g; Color c1 = getBackground(); Color c2 = color1.darker(); int w = getWidth(); int h = getHeight(); GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint( 0, 0, c1, 0, h, c2); g2d.setPaint(gp); g2d.fill3DRect(0,0, w, h,true); 

Then there is no 3D view, but the border expands more with the border color.
How can i achieve this?

Any sample code or links are welcome.

Answer 1

is that enough?

This is far from ideal, but the main idea works ...

 public class MyRoundedBorder implements Border { protected static final Insets DEFAULT_INSETS = new Insets(4, 4, 4, 4); @Override public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) { Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create(); g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(3, BasicStroke.CAP_ROUND, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND)); g2d.setColor(Color.WHITE); Shape corner = new RoundedShape(width - 8, height - 8); g2d.translate(x + 2, y + 2); g2d.draw(corner); g2d.transform(AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(180), (width - 8) / 2, (height - 8) / 2)); g2d.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY); g2d.draw(corner); g2d.dispose(); } @Override public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c) { return DEFAULT_INSETS; } @Override public boolean isBorderOpaque() { return true; } public class RoundedShape extends Path2D.Float { public RoundedShape(int width, int height) { moveTo(0, height - 20); append(new Arc2D.Float(0, height - 20, 20, 20, 180, 45, Arc2D.CHORD), false); lineTo(0, 20); curveTo(0, 0, 0, 0, 20, 0); lineTo(width - 10, 0); append(new Arc2D.Float(width - 20, 0, 20, 20, 90, -45, Arc2D.CHORD), false); } } }
