I want to add a dropshadow border around an undecorated JFrame. I found this on stackoverflow: Undecorated JFrame shadow
However this is causing issues with a heavyweight component in my frame from this known issue when I'm setting the JFrame backgound color to translucent.
Is there any other way to accomplish this? I am thinking that I would need a special LAF for my JFrames that has no Title area and no window border, but I have no experience writing LAFs.
JxBrowser is the heavyweight component in my example that renders transparent. They have an option to render in lightweight rendering mode but my memory and cpu skyrocket and is unacceptable. There should be an alternative way to draw a shadow border around my undecorated jframe.
