How do i remove the window box from any java program. Because i want to make it look border-less. I know any jar files running on jre automatically gets a window like this. So i want to know if there is workaround about this.
Thanks in advance
here is a photo what i want to do exactly
See Frame#setUndecorated
You could also use a JWindow
which is undecorated by default.
Check this and this for example uses

If you remove the border, you become responsible for moving and resizing of the window...
This "basic" example demonstrates how to move a JWindow
with the mouse. This makes a "drag zone" around window which is 10 pixels wide.
Resizing would be similar process, but you need to decide in which direction to resize (ie it might need you to move the window when it's resized ;))
