I'm enclosing some code I use to add a JInternalFrame containing components to a Frame. It looks okay but it looks like there is a frame underneath the JIF with the corners being sligtly covered. Picture a cardbard frame where the inner four corners are curved. Now place a perfect rectangle piece of paper over the frame. The piece of paper should be a nice fit but it will cover the curved corners. This is what this frame is giving me. Thanks for any help. Paul
Yeah, that is not enough code. How about the whole thing? Or at least where you create the JFrame, JDesktopPane, and add the JInternalFrame to the DesktopPane.
