All components are rectangular by definition, and top level windows are tied to the native window system which is also rectangular.<br />
<br />
you can give a component the illusion of not being rectangular by leaving the background transparent.

@CHEJ .. I am not able to find the code for the link you send :(

How does that help you exactly?<br />
(and you don't need to write any native code)<br />

I think you'll need to check it out from Subversion (for which you'll need an account)<br />

Circular JFrame

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
