- Please how is possible (probably dirty hack) to create How to Create Translucent and Shaped Windows

- undecorated container (returns java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: The frame is displayable.)

- change Look and Feel for (returns AWT-EventQueue-0" java.awt.IllegalComponentStateException: The frame is decorated)

- by using code from linked official tutorial

.

import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    
    public class TranslucentWindow extends JFrame {
    
        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
        public TranslucentWindow() {
            super("Test translucent window");
            setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            add(new JButton("test"));
            add(new JCheckBox("test"));
            add(new JRadioButton("test"));
            add(new JProgressBar(0, 100));
            JPanel panel = new JPanel() {
                @Override
                public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                    return new Dimension(400, 300);
                }
                private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
                @Override
                protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                    super.paintComponent(g);
                    g.setColor(Color.red);
                    g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
                }
            };
            panel.add(new JLabel("Very long textxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "));
            add(panel);
            pack();
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            //setUndecorated(true);
        }
    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                    if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                        break;
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            /*JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);*/
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    Window w = new TranslucentWindow();
                    w.setVisible(true);
                    com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities.setWindowOpacity(w, 0.7f);
                }
            });
        }
    }

- everything works for code compiled in JDK6xx, Top-level Container can be undecorated, LookAndFeel changed to Nimbus,

- not for Java7 (doesn't matter if desicion platform, binnary souce is setted back to JDK6 or not)

- original discusion on SO, Can't transparent and undecorated JFrame in JDK7 when enabling nimbus

- accepted answer by @JamesCherrill on Daniweb,

- 1st. Top-Level Container created on InitialThread must be decorated and isDisplayable(), then after is possible whatever with rest of

- problably required short delaying by Swing Timer

- half the solution in Java 7, is possible to create undecorated container, everything depends of proper ordering of methods

- still not solution, possible to create decorated container and with changed Look And Feel

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class TranslucentWindow extends JFrame {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public TranslucentWindow() {
        super("Test translucent window");
        setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        add(new JButton("test"));
        add(new JCheckBox("test"));
        add(new JRadioButton("test"));
        add(new JProgressBar(0, 100));
        JPanel panel = new JPanel() {
            @Override
            public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                return new Dimension(400, 300);
            }
            private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.setColor(Color.red);
                g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
            }
        };
        panel.add(new JLabel("Very long textxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "));
        add(panel);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setUndecorated(true);
        pack();
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setOpacity(0.70f);
    }

public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                    break;
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        //JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Window w = new TranslucentWindow();
                w.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
}
