Hi Dirk!

I think it could be some confuse for users to have a full form in back and floating windows over it.
I do not let my developers to have more than one level of windows to get the interface clear. First level windows, second level modal dialog. But its a design choice.
You could implement what you want adding a method to the SubWindowsDestop.java to return the “desktop” private field which is a Div used to enclose the windows.
If you implement something like this:

public Div getDesktop() {
    return this.desktop;
}

you will get access to the underlying component.
Let me know if it work for you.

Hi Marcelo,
I totally agree. We try to improve user experience in our applications by additional and optional background informations.

… and thanks, yes I figured it out with

public void addComponent(Component pvComponent) {
    	desktop.add(pvComponent);
}

I will add it in the next release.
I want to add a “stayOnTop” attribute to subwindows and there some thing to fix when the desktop is zoomed. It could be needed to show the scrollbars in some point.
