Dear all,

Since you say you don't know anything about Swing/AWT, you should start by going through the Tutorial Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials) . The next step would be to familiarize yourself with the Swing MVC pattern, by reading the source code of components, models and UI delegates.

In a year or three you should be ready to create a custom component. Don't give up!

Thanks for your reply....

Is there any way to customize existing JSlider component using our images.

[DarrylBurke]

That's far too vague to answer. Where do you want to place an image? as a background? custom slider thumb? custom tick marks? custom tick labels? something else entirely?
