Wouldn't textareabg be an image object (created from an image file)?
bgimage = new Image('bg.png');
chat.setBackground(bgimage);

Or something like that (would be something like that in C#).

You don't understand my problem, the image is define properly, like so:
textareabgtr = new MediaTracker(this);
textareabg = getImage(getCodeBase(), "jachat_textbox_background.jpg");
textareabgtr.addImage(textareabg,0);

But the thing that i can't get working is applying that image as the background of the textarea.

Okay, rate this:

Not feeling that blue you have on the textarea it's contrast is to off from the rest of the application, and as for the background the gradient looks horrible pixilated i'm sorry.

The gradient isn't pixelated atall, atleast on the actual applet.

-Remove that horrible, horrible 4 point gradient and leave the default background. I don't know any Java, but if there is no default color, make it light grey like all other applications in the world.

Actually, it isn't an application. It is a webpage-embedded applet.

- Make the actual chat box and typing box larger to avoid having so much whitespace around which has no use aside from taking room on the screen

I'm going to make use of that.

- Make the "send" button smaller. It also has a lot of useless blank space around the caption.

Okay.

But, you seem to think this is an application, it isn't. It is an applet.

Happy 100th posts on this topic :)

Well as long as I'm browsing around here waiting for the Linux kernel to compile I might as well add a screenshot of Team Nerdground's latest software project:

http://www.nerdgrounds.com/pics/screenshot1.j pg

This is the "project" in action:

http://www.nerdgrounds.com/pics/screenshot2.j pg

It's the latest Flash standalone player, with special "hacks" that allow filters to process both audio and video (by intercepting API functions). JonCampbell is busy at his place working on a record audio to WAV and record video to AVI function. He sucks at programming that kind of stuff though so I might have to write it :O

Not really, people still post screenshots.

Well what I am coding in the screenshot would be a lot more interesting to people here than the other things I'm coding. Who here wants a screenshot of me writing an MPEG-1 encoder in Linux using VIM from the command line? (crickets...) Thought so.

Wow.. You are so hardcore!

Still a hell of a lot more interesting than what I'm coding. At least mine looks cool (Beryl is the ulimate in eye candy)

Current project:
Working with trees in Java... simple re-structuring. Wow. Fun.

Total is ~1100 lines of code..

I got something that some of you will like :)

GUI coding is serious business.
Ughh.

This is my beloved visual studio.
What you see here is C#, my new favorite language after I discovered it unique qualities. I've liked it for a while, but last week I nearly fell in love when I discovered its greatness :)

What you see here is a project I'm currently working on, or more correctly; the map editor for it. The code you see is a part for the sprite engine which loads the graphics from a .gfx file into a series of arrays of bitmaps (for sprite animation or tiling; in its current state, tiling)

oh, I spotted a stupidity in my code :/ brb

Visual Studio 8

Working on classes can be very repetitive...

Garbage Collector in C

Surprisingly only took me an hour to write :S

That's Delphi, PHP, Lingo and my fav; Actionscript!

A bit of unimportant code from my project.

I really hope "binary" isn't the password for your database. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I've seen stuff like this happen before.

I'll get a good screenshot of my programming a bit later, when I'm not so busy. I have so much school work that I'm doing right now, so I havn't been doing much programming.

Where did that come from?

And no, that's not the password. It doesn't matter anyway, it's on localhost while it's development, so it's not like anyone can hack it.

Sorry, I quoted the wrong message. I was talking to LolOutLoud.

for me, You basicly can see a fat kid with the actionscript box on flash 8 empty. you don't really need a pic for that. lol

lol, I completely forgot about that... It doesn't matter though, I'm using phpnet.us now. Awardspace had a stupid 500kb max file upload limit. I left it about 8 months ago.

Latest Java assignment... A shallow tree. Oh boy! >:(
