JDesktopPane has a toolbar at bottom of window on linux

Question

I have a JDesktopPane that adds JInternalFrames. On Linux (ubuntu) and Mac os, all displayed internal frame appear in a taskbar/toolbar standing in the bottom left corner, with the name of each internal frame as label. This toolbar is not displayed on Windows, which is the behaviour I expect.

enter image description here

Would anybody know how to desactivate this toolbar?

I'm setting the internal frames this way:

frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setClosable(false);
frame.setMaximizable(false);
frame.setIconifiable(false);

And adding them to JLayeredPane.PALETTE_LAYER

Try this:

UIManager.put("DesktopPaneUI","javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicDesktopPaneUI");

Try removeAll() on your JDesktopPanes after creating them.

hmm ... sounds counter-intuitive as the frames are added, to start with ;-) – kleopatra Oct 02 '12 at 14:14
Yeah, I know, but anyhow that nasty bar has to be out before adding the frames ( Why Linux? :( ). – pamo Oct 03 '12 at 04:04

Try adding:

frame.setIcon ( false );

This will force the frame to be shown.

It is possible that on Ubuntu/Mac those frames are iconified by default, that is why they appear in the corner of the JDesktopPane.

unfortunately it does not change anything, either when calling setIcon(false) before or after adding the internal frame to the desktop pane. – Martin Pernollet Apr 28 '12 at 07:55

This worked in my case:

UIManager.put("InternalFrame.useTaskBar", Boolean.FALSE);

It should be "less invasive" than replacing a whole UI class, and if you change to a Look and Feel that doesn't display the toolbar the property should be simply ignored
