JWindow on the desktop

[Lee]

Does anyone know how I can get a JWindow to sit on the desktop and always be
at the bottom of all the windows? I've tried jwindow.toBack() but it seems
to disappear altogether.

It works in my code. Where's yours?

toBack() doesn't work on this:

public DesktopPanel()
{

Dimension screenSize =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

JPanel j = new JPanel();
j.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.blue));

setSize((int)(screenSize.getWidth()), 22);
setLocation(0,(int)(screenSize.getHeight())-100);

setContentPane(frameContent);
frameContent.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(58,58,58));
frameContent.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

addMouseMotionListener(this);
addMouseListener(this);

JButton quitButton = new JButton("X");
quitButton.setSize(20,20);
quitButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(99);
}
});


JLabel west=null;
try{
west = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("logo.gif"));
}catch(Exception gh){gh.printStackTrace();}

frameContent.setBorder(new LineBorder(new java.awt.Color(189,189,255)));
frameContent.add(west, BorderLayout.WEST);
frameContent.add(quitButton,BorderLayout.EAST);

setVisible(true);
toBack();

}

It is no wonder you are having problems. That does not compile.

Which part of 'self contained' are you having a problem with?
