Guy: Not that I've seen. Probably need to use native code. Of course, if you do this you also have to take into account that the start bar doesn't have to be on the screen and can be in any of four locations (top, bottom, right, left) at a given time. How about playing it safe and only using Java. Get the size and then subtract 20 pixels, or so, from all directions. -Rich Guy Scharf wrote: > > When I use Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(), it returns the > total size of the screen, including the space used by the Windows NT > (and presumably 95/98?) start bar.
