how to "auto-hide" a window using Java?

[gino]

Dear folks,

How to auto -hide a window, then when the mouse move over a certain very
slim region, the window gradually move out and show. How can I implement
this on Linux and Windows XP using Java?

Thanks a lot,

-Gino

You could detect this easily with MouseEvent, looking for enter and
leave. The animated motion is probably best done with a
javax.swing.Timer, and of course setBounds on the component.
