Re: n00b problem

Have you tried:

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
fm.setBackground(Color.black);
fm.setBackground(Color.black);

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class CPB extends JFrame {
 
	public void myframe() {
 
		JFrame frm = new JFrame();
		JPanel panel = (JPanel)frm.getContentPane();
 
		panel.setBackground(Color.black);
 
		frm.setBounds(0,0,800,400);
		frm.setVisible(true);
 
 
			frm.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
			public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
				System.exit(0);
			}
		});
		frm.setResizable(false);
	}
 
	public void paint(Graphics g) {
 
                         g.setColor(color.white");
		g.drawString("Text should be here :S",100,100);
	}
 
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		CPB cmp = new CPB();
		cmp.myframe();
	}
}
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class CPB extends JFrame {

	public void myframe() {

		JFrame frm = new JFrame();
		JPanel panel = (JPanel)frm.getContentPane();

		panel.setBackground(Color.black);
		
		frm.setBounds(0,0,800,400);
		frm.setVisible(true);

				
			frm.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
			public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
				System.exit(0);
			}
		});
		frm.setResizable(false);
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {

                         g.setColor(color.white");
		g.drawString("Text should be here :S",100,100);

Re: n00b problem

This works. It's a little bit different than yours though.

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class CPB extends JFrame {
 
	public CPB() {
 
	Container content = getContentPane();
	setContentPane(content);
	setBackground(Color.black);
	setSize(300,300);
	setLayout(new FlowLayout());
	setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	setVisible(true);
	}
 
	public void paint(Graphics g) {
 
                g.setColor(Color.white);
		g.drawString("Text should be here :S",100,100);
	}
 
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		CPB cmp = new CPB();
	}
}
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class CPB extends JFrame {

	public CPB() {

	Container content = getContentPane();
	setContentPane(content);
	setBackground(Color.black);
	setSize(300,300);
	setLayout(new FlowLayout());
	setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	setVisible(true);
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g) {

                g.setColor(Color.white);
		g.drawString("Text should be here :S",100,100);
	}


	public static void main(String[] args) {

		CPB cmp = new CPB();
	}
}
