I am creating a GUI, albeit a simple one, and I want to have a background image (2048 X 2048) fill up the whole window and a square to the left top corner where the occasional 64 X 64 image can be loaded. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out :) Edit: I already know how to make the JFrame a set size, its the image loading I need help with.
You can do:
setContentPane(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("resources/taverna.jpg")));
At first line of the Jframe class constructor, that works fine for me
This is a simple example for adding the background image in a JFrame:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class BackgroundImageJFrame extends JFrame
{
JButton b1;
JLabel l1;
public BackgroundImageJFrame()
{
setTitle("Background Color for JFrame");
setSize(400,400);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
/*
One way
-----------------
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JLabel background=new JLabel(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Computer\\Downloads\\colorful design.png"));
add(background);
background.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
l1=new JLabel("Here is a button");
b1=new JButton("I am a button");
background.add(l1);
background.add(b1);
*/
// Another way
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setContentPane(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Computer\\Downloads\\colorful design.png")));
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
l1=new JLabel("Here is a button");
b1=new JButton("I am a button");
add(l1);
add(b1);
// Just for refresh :) Not optional!
setSize(399,399);
setSize(400,400);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new BackgroundImageJFrame();
}
}
