I would like to know if there is anyway to create JFrame that look like Windows 7 Aero task-bar. I mean I want the whole frame look like that by being transparent and blurring the scene in the background.

    Maybe [this](http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/GUI/translucent_shaped_windows/) will help a little. – Pshemo Jul 01 '12 at 16:36
  • This just makes the window transparent, I also need to blur the background image – Loop Masters Jul 01 '12 at 16:38

    Have a look at `UIManager` class, especially the `setLookAndFeel()` method. – 11684 Jul 01 '12 at 16:39
  • *"I want the **whole** frame look like that"* Why? I have Aero effect enabled for borders and title bar of frames and like it, but would not want **any** app. to have that effect across the **entire** app. What is so special about your app. that makes that effect the right way to go? – Andrew Thompson Jul 02 '12 at 15:55

As Swing is a PLAF (Pluggable Look And Feel), there are few options to get look and feel of windows with UIManager class....

Pls try this link... it will give you some idea
