What do you mean "other than the icon image"? What have you tried?

button=new JButton(new IconImage(*.*));

i have tried this code....but this code place a very small size pic on the JButton.
but i want JButton to look more graphical like putting some texture graphics on it.

I recommend you give this a read: How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

Then create an SSCCE that demonstrates exactly what you're trying, as well as maybe a mock-up of what your goal is.

Now if he told us that, he would be making a positive contribution to the forum. You don't really expect that to happen, do you?

as i posted earlier that i want to put some texture on the JButton...
but if i put some texture on Jbutton using "button=new JButton(new IconImage(*.*));"
it hides the Caption on jbutton...

but by using "button.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.C ENTER);"
it will center the caption on Jbutton.

now i can put any texture or any graphical image on JButton without hiding the caption.
