Hello,
I am trying to design an java desktop application. My question is: Is there a way to change the whole look? From example different titlebar, different jFrame, buttons... (designed with PNG images, transparency, etc.). Is it possible? If so, how? In VB or C# I can easely change those... E.G.: Make the FORM "borderless" then I add my own buttons with background image, etc. It is so important to me... I work on a project that requires not only developing but design too. please help if you can :). Thanks.

Jump to PostYou can customize all kinds of things about how the UI appears. A lot is possible with the methods provided by the Swing components, but if that isn't sufficient it's possible to use the the pluggable look and feel and custom UI delegates to gain a greater degree of customization. …
Jump to PostIt all comes down to the details of "changing the look". Some things are trivial, others are quite complicated. You asked a very general question.
If you just want to set the frame to be borderless, use
setUndecorated(true);
