Re: JDK 1.6 and JFrame icon

Hello,

I'm testing my application using JDK 1.6 (to make sure it will also work with that).

There is one thing that is not working properly: my icon that I set for the main window (JFrame) is not displaying under Windows when using Alt-Tab. I does display fine in the window itself and in the task bar, but not when I use Alt-Tab.

Any idea? Maybe a know bug in JDK 1.6 (I have noticed this with NetBeans as well, so it seems to be related to the JDK and not necessarily to my program)

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Maybe a bug related to the new 1.6 feature which allows you to specify multiple icon images. The platform chooses the best image where needed, e.g. a 16x16 image as title bar icon, and a 32x32 one as Alt-Tab icon
