Re: Translucent Frames and moving windows

I had cause to revisit my code for this recently. The trick to getting smooth window drags seems to be using the Window's getLocationOnScreen method, rather than just getLocation (even though they *should* return the same value, there seems to be a difference WRT timing). This is what the Metal PLAF does, when I varied by using getLocation I got jerky drag behaviour.

I also tried just a simple 3-D rectangle fill for the title bar region, and that seemed to work well. It gave reasonable feedback when I set the "raised" parameter of Graphics.fill3DRect to false when dragging, and true otherwise. Filling the region with a texture map would be best, I think, but more work.
