Ability to click through a java app

Question

I\'ve got a simple program which atm displays a transparant window with an image on it, which is always on top of other windows. Is it possible to direct input past my app s

Answer 1

Using JNA's WindowUtils accomplishes this effect on Windows 7 (other systems untested):

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
//...
frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
System.setProperty("sun.java2d.noddraw", "true");
WindowUtils.setWindowTransparent(frame, true);
WindowUtils.setWindowAlpha(frame, 0.6f);

Thanks to Nate's comment about setAlwaysOnTop for making this a more viable option.
