I have a question regarding the border around an undecorated JDialog using the Metal L&F.

Look at this picture to see the border that is on this window:

enter image description here

I'm trying to figure out how to either get rid of or change the color of the blue border around the very outside of the JDialog. I looked at the UI defaults for the Look & Feel but I wasn't able to come up with any that worked for this.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of that border?

Thanks!

You need to change the Border of the root pane:

getRootPane().
   setBorder( BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.RED) );
