I remembered this, and wanted to share with you.
I was programming with Java2D in my more novice days, and I wanted to make the screen maximized, but so that the user could not resize it. I was perplexed with how to do it. I came up with this, unintended by the Java2D authors, solution: I took the Robot class to manually move the mouse over to the maximize button, and then disabled resizing at the very same second.
Did you ever make a program cut corners or do something that would be frowned upon by others?
