I have a JFrame with a Title. I want center align the title, so that it appears in the middle of the JFrame's title.
Thanks.

Consider leaving the title left-justified...but...this will get you near the center. For resizable frames, you need to rewrite the title on resize.
JFrame t = new JFrame();
t.setSize(600,300);
t.setFont(new Font("System", Font.PLAIN, 14));
Font f = t.getFont();
FontMetrics fm = t.getFontMetrics(f);
int x = fm.stringWidth("Hello Center");
int y = fm.stringWidth(" ");
int z = t.getWidth()/2 - (x/2);
int w = z/y;
String pad ="";
//for (int i=0; i!=w; i++) pad +=" ";
pad = String.format("%"+w+"s", pad);
t.setTitle(pad+"Hello Center");
Adapting the answer's source of @Java42, I did a "workaround" to adjust title when resizing JFrame:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.FontMetrics;
import java.awt.event.ComponentAdapter;
import java.awt.event.ComponentEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class JFrameTitleCenter {
public void createAndShowGUI() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
frame.setTitle("Hello Center");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
@Override
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
titleAlign(frame);
}
});
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private void titleAlign(JFrame frame) {
Font font = frame.getFont();
String currentTitle = frame.getTitle().trim();
FontMetrics fm = frame.getFontMetrics(font);
int frameWidth = frame.getWidth();
int titleWidth = fm.stringWidth(currentTitle);
int spaceWidth = fm.stringWidth(" ");
int centerPos = (frameWidth / 2) - (titleWidth / 2);
int spaceCount = centerPos / spaceWidth;
String pad = "";
pad = String.format("%" + (spaceCount - 14) + "s", pad);
frame.setTitle(pad + currentTitle);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
new JFrameTitleCenter().createAndShowGUI();
});
}
}

it appears in the middle of the JFrame's title.
simple not possible to centering narrarive in the JFrames TitleBar
, this container came from Native OS
dirty hack are possible by implements getSystemLookAndFeel
in Windows OS
create undecorated JFrame
by adding JPanel
(simulated Toolbar
) with JButtons (JButtons with icons simulating standards buttons )
I don't know that you can without using a complicated scheme. If it's to your liking, you could apply a titled border with centered text to the frame's content pane.
