Java allows you to set the title and icon for a Frame, but not much 
more.  The title bar is drawn by the native operating system, so you 
cannot take full control of it.

If you want to control other aspects of the title bar, I can think of 
two approaches that may work, but neither is very pretty.
1) Write native code accessed through JNI to control the title bar.

2) Use a Window rather than a Frame, and implement all of the functions 
that you want in Java code.  That means that you will have to draw the 
title bar, create your own title bar buttons, handle window dragging 
and resizing, etc.
