I was asking question about Translucent JFrame border (see here) and I got very good answers, but unfortunatelly, given answers work perfectly only on JDK 6, but not 7. Any ideas how to make it work with JDK 7?
In JDK 6 it looks like this:
And JDK 7:
And my code looks like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder;
public class ShadowBorder extends AbstractBorder {
private static final int RADIUS = 30;
private static BufferedImage shadowTop;
private static BufferedImage shadowRight;
private static BufferedImage shadowBottom;
private static BufferedImage shadowLeft;
private static BufferedImage shadowTopLeft;
private static BufferedImage shadowTopRight;
private static BufferedImage shadowBottomLeft;
private static BufferedImage shadowBottomRight;
private static boolean shadowsLoaded = false;
public ShadowBorder() {
if (!shadowsLoaded) {
try {
shadowTop = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-top.png"));
shadowRight = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-right.png"));
shadowBottom = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-bottom.png"));
shadowLeft = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-left.png"));
shadowTopLeft = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-top-left.png"));
shadowTopRight = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-top-right.png"));
shadowBottomLeft = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-bottom-left.png"));
shadowBottomRight = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/cz/vutbr/fit/assets/shadow-bottom-right.png"));
shadowsLoaded = true;
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ShadowBorder.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
@Override
public boolean isBorderOpaque() {
return false;
}
@Override
public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c) {
return new Insets(RADIUS, RADIUS, RADIUS, RADIUS);
}
@Override
public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c, Insets insets) {
insets.top = RADIUS;
insets.left = RADIUS;
insets.bottom = RADIUS;
insets.right = RADIUS;
return insets;
}
@Override
public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.DST_ATOP, 1f));
int recWidth = width - (2 * RADIUS);
int recHeight = height - (2 * RADIUS);
int recX = width - RADIUS;
int recY = height - RADIUS;
//edges
g2d.drawImage(shadowTop.getScaledInstance(recWidth, RADIUS, Image.SCALE_REPLICATE), RADIUS, 0, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowRight.getScaledInstance(RADIUS, recHeight, Image.SCALE_REPLICATE), recX, RADIUS, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowBottom.getScaledInstance(recWidth, RADIUS, Image.SCALE_REPLICATE), RADIUS, recY, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowLeft.getScaledInstance(RADIUS, recHeight, Image.SCALE_REPLICATE), 0, RADIUS, null);
//corners
g2d.drawImage(shadowTopLeft, 0, 0, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowTopRight, recX, 0, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowBottomLeft, 0, recY, null);
g2d.drawImage(shadowBottomRight, recX, recY, null);
}
}
Thanks a lot!
I've just solved my problem. The problem was, that JDK 7 implements AWTUtilities.setWindowOpaque()
method from JDK6 in setBackground()
method and I was (NetBeans did :-)) setting default background for JFrame in different place, so setting background to new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
makes JFrame transparent and all goes well now.
For whoever stumbles upon this thread and wants his own transparent window, I devised this example. With how little information is available on the web, I almost had to break a leg to come up with something just works, and doesn't use image files or anything. (Combined from different examples on this site)
public class GradientTranslucentWindowDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create the GUI on the event-dispatching thread
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
final JFrame f = new JFrame("Per-pixel translucent window");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setUndecorated(true);
f.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
final BufferedImage backrgoundImage = makeBackrgoundImage(400, 400);
JPanel panel = new JPanel()
{
@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
if (g instanceof Graphics2D)
{
g.drawImage(backrgoundImage, 0, 0, null);
}
}
};
panel.setOpaque(false);
f.setContentPane(panel);
f.setLayout(new GridBagLayout()); // Centers the button
f.add(new JButton(new AbstractAction("Close")
{
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
f.dispose();
}
}));
f.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 400);
f.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
static BufferedImage makeBackrgoundImage(int w, int h)
{
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// Draw something transparent
Graphics2D g = img.createGraphics();
g.setPaint(new RadialGradientPaint(new Point2D.Float(w / 2, h / 2), (w + h) / 4, new float[]{0, 1}, new Color[]{Color.RED, new Color(1f, 0, 0, 0)}));
g.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
g.setPaint(Color.RED);
g.drawRect(0, 0, w - 1, h - 1);
g.dispose();
return img;
}
}
