Thread: Making a neon looking Jbutton...

I was wondering if its possible, I double checked alot of results on google and the ones that came out was CSS and something about a new plug-in for the netbeans IDE... Anyhow... Is it possible? if yes how? If my question lacks detail, I'd like to draw attention to the clock gadget for windows 7 that has a neon themeUntitled.png I need to create a button that has the same outlook but not a clock or any kind of timer... Thanks in advance

Have you read about the JButton to see what the class can do?

Yes I did... I'm not a java newbie but am just not that much of a GUI builder so I was looking for a code that creates a neon themed button
The other alternative is to create the button using Photoshop or Gimp and import it using java so that it would be a picture over a JButton... I'm just asking if there is something to be done other than that...

Depending on how simple of an image you want to use. Images can be drawn in code or imported. A listener can be active on any displayable object and coded to work like a button. Roll-over changes included. The "best" way to do it depends on what you really want.

As far as having code for a neon button, not I.

If your requirements suggest you need a button who does only things buttons do, use the button class, it was designed to handle the common button idea.
On the other hand if you need some functionality not provided by a button object, consider extending the button class with custom extensions or building an object on your own.

Ok then... Thanks Alot I appreciate it

I am not clear well with your question. Did you mean creating a Button with image over it?
If this is what you asking, this is the Procedure..
Just Right-click the Button on which you want to embed an image, choose "Icon" option Browse the Image which you intended. and click ok.

Thank you
