Answer 1

It sounds like you've overridden paint on a top level container, like JFrame? This is your problem. A JFrame's decoration is actually painted inside the window.

You should create a custom component, say from JPanel for example, override it's paintComponent method and perform your custom painting there.

You can then add this to your frame or replace the frames content pane.
