843810Jun 30 2006 — edited Jun 17 2009
Hi All,

I'm bulding a stand-alone-java GUI application.
This application is expected to run both on Windows & Linux
The content of GUI window is self configration at run time with csv
file.

Now my problem is " how to set size of GUI application window"

java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() can get me user's full screen-size
but u never know about user's taskbar dimensions. it can be
vertical/horizontal/auto-hide.

How could I get the actual working area for my applciation
i.e. DIMENSIONS_OF_SCREEN_SIZE - DIMENSIONS_OF_TASKBAR

Thanks in advance
