Java: Remove title bar buttons only

Question

I've only found ways to completely remove title bar + borders. I want to create a window in Swing without title bar buttons but still retain the default system's border. Is this possible?

Answer 1

The following link has a complete working example that uses remove() on the buttons:

Answer 2

You can use the frame's setUndecorated() method and render your own decorations. You may want to leverage the JInternalFrame UI defaults, which typically recapitulate those of the platform's default Look & Feel, as shown here. These seem especially relevant:

InternalFrame.activeTitleBackground
InternalFrame.activeTitleForeground
InternalFrame.inactiveTitleBackground
InternalFrame.inactiveTitleForeground
