Remove empty header of a dockable in a SplitDockstation

Hi,

I have a SplitdockStation that contains a dockable and I’m using eclipse theme.

I want to show the title bar of the station to be able to maximize it, but I don’t want to show an empty header (Check attached image). Could you please advice to remove this empty header?

Please find a small example that reproduce my case :

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;

import bibliothek.extension.gui.dock.theme.EclipseTheme;

import bibliothek.gui.DockController;
import bibliothek.gui.dock.DefaultDockable;
import bibliothek.gui.dock.SplitDockStation;


public class Demo {

    public Demo() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(600, 500);

        DockController controller = new DockController();
        controller.setTheme(new EclipseTheme());
        SplitDockStation station = new SplitDockStation();
        frame.add(station, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        controller.add(station);

        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
        station.drop(new DefaultDockable(panel));
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Demo();
    }
}

Thank you,

Dumb question: why not just give a title and an icon to this Dockable?

The framework does not support removing a tab directly, but you could trick the framework to “paint” an invisible tab. You would need to implement a TabComponent (which is not much more than a Swing-JComponent) and a TabPainter (which is not much more than a factory for TabComponents).
