Is it possible to make a circular GUI in java?

I'm just wondering, is it possible in JAVA to make a circular GUI with components inside it (buttons, text fiel开发者_如何学JAVAds ... etc) ?

Yes, it's entirely possible, albeit in a manner of speaking - they're not truly circular, however they have some "transparent" parts, which are filled in with a screen capture prior to displaying the frame, etc.

A good introduction to performing this can be seen in the online chapter 6.5 of Killer Game Programming in Java.

HTH

These will give you lots of help.

Yes it is very much possible, has been made available since build 12 of JDK 6.0u10. Have a read of these.
