As a result I have to use exact positioning rather than a Layout manager. I am using the standard java.awt.* (ie not JFrame just Frame) and the latest version of the Sun J2SDK. My problem is that when I create a Frame and add components, all co-ordinates are relative to the very top left of the window (including the titlebar). As a result the tops of some of my components are hidden under the titlebar. Is there any way I can find the height of the titlebar so that I can compensate for this. Any help would be much appreciated.
