I recently started using slick2D in my gaming programs and a problem I have is not having the ability to remove the border/titlebar. I usually do this to create my own cutom look/ interface but if I try:
this.setUndecorated(true);
It doesnt work.
How do you acheive this?
Ok so here is a basic application that has the title bar removed
public static void main(String[] args){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Without Title Bar Frame");
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setSize(400,400);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
Paste the above code into a java class
Also be sure to import
import javax.swing.JFrame;
You see how frame.setUndecorated(true); is straight after the instantiation of the frame? Place yours in the same place and you will have no issue at all :)
EDIT: here is what I found which may work.

But as it states in that post it isn't support yet.
Originally I was using
AppGameContainer app = new AppGameContainer(new Game());
to create my game. However I wanted to set the frame to be undecorated. So I searched around and found that if you changed
AppGameContainer app = new AppGameContainer(new WizardGame());
to
CanvasGameContainerapp = new CanvasGameContainer(new Game());
so that its now a canvas and then add it to a JFrame and set that JFrame to undecorated, you would get a undecorated slick2D program.
CODE:
public static void main(String[] args) throws SlickException {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
CanvasGameContainer app = new CanvasGameContainer(new Game());
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.add(app);
frame.setSize(500, 500);
app.start();
}
The only problem that i have with it is that i have to click it once to render the images. If i don't it just has a black screen. This could be because of my other code but I don't think it should happen for anyone else.
