For some time now I was trying to make a JFrame with rounded borders however I was not able to.

I know the setShape(java.awt.Shape) method of a JFrame can be used to create JFrame with specific shape but I guess it is limited to the following:

  • Rectangle2D (sharp-edged)
  • Ellipse2D
  • CubicCurve2D
  • QuadCurve2D
  • GeneralPath

    • What I want to do is to create a JFrame with rounded corners.
    How is that possible ?

    Note: My Eclipse IDE shows the setShape() method however the Java Doc online does not. Uhm... why ?

      Look here could be help [Create a rounded JFrame / ContentPane](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/954566/create-a-rounded-jframe-contentpane) – Smit May 16 '13 at 17:56
    • @Smit The article on today.java.net uses `AWTUtilties` for setting the shape which has been replaced by `setShape()` :) – An SO User May 16 '13 at 17:58

      *"I want a rectangle with rounded corners"* See **[`RoundRectangle2D`](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/geom/RoundRectangle2D.html)**. – Andrew Thompson May 17 '13 at 03:21
