Customizing the Window component

You can transform a Window component horizontally and vertically both while authoring and at runtime. While authoring, select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands. At runtime, use UIObject.setSize() or any applicable properties and methods of the Window class. For more information, see Window class.

Resizing the window does not change the size of the close button or title caption. The title caption is aligned to the left and the close bar to the right.

These skin properties set the names of the symbols to use as the button's states, both with and without an icon. For more information, see UIObject.createClassObject(), and PopUpManager.createPopUp().
