Packages that use Painter

com.sun.lwuit	Main widget package containing the component/container "composite" similar both in terminology and design to Swing/AWT.
com.sun.lwuit.animations	All components are animatable by potential and additional animations (unrelated to a specific component) can be installed on the fly, transitions between forms are also handled as part of this package.
com.sun.lwuit.painter	Painter allows us to draw arbitrary elements of graphics from plain/scaled/tiled images to gradients and pretty much any form of graphic drawing we can imagine.
com.sun.lwuit.plaf	Look of the application can be fully customized via this package, it represents a rendering layer that can be plugged in separately in runtime and themed to provide any custom look.

PainterChain	PainterChain.addPainter(Painter p) Creates a new chain based on the existing chain with the new element added at the end
static void	PainterChain.installGlassPane(Form f, Painter p) Installs a glass pane on the given form making sure to make it a painter chain only if required by existing painter
PainterChain	PainterChain.prependPainter(Painter p) Creates a new chain based on the existing chain with the new element added at the beginning
static void	PainterChain.removeGlassPane(Form f, Painter p) Removes a glass pane from the given form, this is the opposite operation for the install glass pane
