Technique Needed To Create Such Java2D Look n Feel
I saw the following nice looking tool tips, created using JavaScript JQuery Toolkit.
I was planning to implement a similar look in my Java standalone application.
I was wondering what is the techniques needed to create such effect?

The things come out from my head are :
Transparency - java.awt.AlphaComposite
Gradient Background - java.awt.GradientPaint
Background Shadow - ???
White Line Around The Black Box - LineBorder ?
What is the keyword I shall look for, for the technology marked with ???
Thanks.
O开发者_高级运维r more preferable, some ready-made library, that can be displayed along JXLayer.
Filthy Rich Clients is a good book for learning how to use Java to create graphical components/effect like the tooltip you want.
