I’m currently using modal JDialogs ro give messages to users and they work well but they’re a bit ugly and I’m not sure I can customise them (no border, background image, my own images for buttons) and if I can I imagine it’s really difficult because stuff like setDecorated(false) just make my app hang. Is there anyway I can use a JPanel for the same thing (i.e. making it modal)?
sure, you can always manually make “modal” JPanels… like setting all other components to be non-focusable and making JPanel always on top… and so on. Never tried it, always did everything within game engine.
Sounds great I’ll try that, thanks!!
Almost forgot about this. Ended up just making a loop that sets everything to “disabled before” I show the JPanel and then “enabled” when I hide it and it worked perfectly.
Thanks again Kova!!
