Hi,

I spent time to find the solution to display my image as a JFrame icon image... And tryed a lot of things like

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(Constants.LOGO_ABSOLUTE_PATH);
this.setIconImage(image.getImage());
System.out.println(image.getDescription());

I put "voile.png" file everywhere in my directories : root,src,bin and inside bin and src packages. I also tryed with an online logo and its URI.

However, it actually doesn't work. If anyone can help me ?

I'm running it on Eclipse Oxygen and Windows 10

PS : System.out.println(image.getDescription()); always showing a path where my image is located (Anyway I put it everywhere)

Answer 1

ImageIcon doesn't support PNG transparency. I had to create a blank jpg image and put logo inside. My final code is

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(Constants.LOGO);
this.setIconImage(image.getImage());
