Customizing the title bar

Hi,

I would like to have a more elaborate title bar, such as a label on the left side, and a button on the right side.

The most obvious solution to me seems to replace the title component of the form class with a Container having a BorderLayout.

This works well on my local build, but my final application doesn't have the same size when I use my custom build instead of the binary drop 20080814:
- I compile with netbeans 6.1 and obfuscate (level 8) with proguard 4.2, the resulting lwuit jar library is around 600kb instead of 300kb.

My questions are:
- Which svn revision should I use to have the same source as the lwuit-20080814 drop?
- What am I missing in the compilation step?

Thanks,
Alexandre Hauser

Hi,
you should just place a component in the north portion of the form
representing your title bar and not set a title bar at all. You don't
need to modify LWUIT for that.

Hi,

I would like to have a more elaborate title bar too. I would like to have a title with a subtitle and more two images. The north portion of the form is scrollable but my title bar must be non-scrollable in the screen! ... so how can I have a more elaborate title bar non-scrollable in the screen ?

I also want to do this for my app.

I have not implement it but the way I thought to do this is setting the form title bigger using vertical padding and using a glass pane on the Form for the custom painting.

I want try it but at least on theory should work, if you are willing to wait a few weeks I can tell you if it works.
