Is it possible to disable the drop shadow of a Java AWT application on OS X?
I want to create a transparent window, which works fine, but I cannot get rid of the drop shadow.
If I was using a JFrame this could be done using:
JRootPane root = frame.getRootPane();
root.putClientProperty( "Window.shadow", Boolean.FALSE );
Any similar possibility for an AWT Frame?
I' using the Framework Processing and my code there looks like this:
void setup(){
frame.removeNotify();
frame.setUndecorated(true);
}
Processing itself does the main Frame creation, here is the source.
This is a simple application that uses a transparent window running on Max OS X 10.7.5 under Java 7 (has run under Java 6) which has no problems...
Share some code so we can replicate the issue
Updated from feedback
I have tested this on Mac OS 10.7.5 & 10.8.2, using JDK 1.7.0_07 & 1.6.0_37
Without and with Window.shadow property...
Without going into a lot of tests and without further information, I would suggest you want to make this call as early as you can. If that doesn't work, make it the last call before you make the window visible.
This may be related to how Java/AWT connects to it's native peer, presumably, once the connection is made, you will no longer be able to effect these kinds of properties...

The code also includes transparency test code to test the transparency API now available in Java 1.7 and Java 1.6_10+. I've used this code successfully in a number of projects, its less cumbersome then the AWT Robot "hack" and provides a live back ground, but that's a choice you need to make.

It appears that you don't understand the window hierarchy in Java
All "windows" in Java derive from java.awt.Window.
JFrame extends Frame which extends Window.
Using this line, it works:
AWTUtilities.setWindowOpaque(frame, false);
Eclipse prints out a warning on this and I had to change some settings to comile it, so I guess there may be better ways.
I read here, that this is supported since OS X 10.6 (Lion).
