Os Grouchnikov

This document summarizes Kirill Grouchnikov's presentation on advanced effects in Java desktop applications using Swing. It discusses: 1. Hooking into Swing's painting pipeline at different points, including the JComponent, RepaintManager, and ComponentUI. 2. Techniques for adding effects like translucency, non-rectangular components, layering, and animation by leveraging the pipeline hooks. 3. Specific examples like using a custom RepaintManager to add translucency, transition effects by manipulating opacity, and the JXLayer component wrapper for adding painters and filters.
