Hi,

Anyone know how to set the title bar icon in a swing app?

Thanks.

Method is extended from fram I think so will be

JFrame window=new JFrame();
window.setIconImage(Image 'Whatever the image file is');

This project does, and philrobo swing is awesome ;-), if think it may be a problem with your image. You cannot use .ico files like in windows, you must use .jpg or .gif.

here is part of code, the rest is in url listed above.....

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image img = tk.getImage("cursor.gif");
setIconImage(img);
