Thread: Two questions: setting an image icon and closing up a game

Not sure what you mean on the first one. You can either do a picture that can be clicked as a JButton that has an icon as its content or you can have a JLabel that has an icon as a content and that uses a MouseListener to respond when clicked. On the second one, I'd need to see your code to see what's going wrong.

Likely you need to specify the right directory and you didn't do it properly.

If you're referring to the current directory, you should do.

./pictureFileName as your setup for the icon file name.

First, explain (or post) the code you use to load the image. Many times the image loading code is not much appropriate (and I always have a suspect about this ....).

Second, setIconImage sets only one Image. Unfortunately, the O.S. can show the icon in several locations and in different sizes (e.g. small in the window title bar, larger in the system task bar, etc...). For this reason, since Java 6 is available the method (in any Window subclass):

public void setIconImages(List<? extends Image> icons)

to set more icons in different sizes.
