Yes I need a window because we show another clickable component under the window.

I am not sure I understood what you meant by map the bounds of the window to match that of the Jframe.

For example, this is what I currently use:

------------------- protected void clipFrame() { Polygon vignetteMask = new Polygon();

vignetteMask.addPoint(0, 0); vignetteMask.addPoint(0, 1024); vignetteMask.addPoint(256, 1024); vignetteMask.addPoint(256, 326); vignetteMask.addPoint(129, 326); vignetteMask.addPoint(129, 126); vignetteMask.addPoint(256, 126); vignetteMask.addPoint(256, 0); WindowUtils.setWindowMask(_parentFrame, vignetteMask); }

------------------

If I need to change the WindowMask to the position (50, 200, 128, 300) (x, y, width, heigh) while the frame itself is 256x1024 (WxH), how would I achieve this?

My issue is, if I create a polygon mask with those co-ordinates, it will show only the window and clip out the rest of the frame. I need to do the reverse :)

Thanks AJ
