Re: [csjava-developer] RE: Adding buttons extension

[Daryl V. H. <dva...@sf...>]

Thanks for your feed back, I was thinking the same thing about having a
button bar someplace instead of having the buttons on top of the image,
where they could obscure important information.

To fix this and have a button bar inside the window would require a
potentially major rewrite of the window-painting code (and potentially
eliminate it altogether).
Instead of drawing the image itself, it could pass the work off onto a
JLabel object that shows an ImageIcon wrapped around the BufferedImage.

Another option would be to have a JDialog hovering around the window
someplace, where it could be moved easily.
Just some thoughts.

Let me know what you think when you have time.
Daryl.
