Since you don't add any components the preffered size is just the gap so you get a size of (10, 10).</p> <p>Therefore, when you do custom painting you need to override the getPreferredSize() method to return a proper value for the custom painting you intend to implement.</p> <p>Edit:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.*; import javax.swing.*; public class ChessBoard extends JFrame implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener { JLayeredPane layeredPane; JPanel chessBoard; JLabel chessPiece; int xAdjustment; int yAdjustment; public ChessBoard() { Dimension boardSize = new Dimension(600, 600); // Use a Layered Pane for this this application layeredPane = new JLayeredPane(); layeredPane.setPreferredSize( boardSize ); layeredPane.addMouseListener( this ); layeredPane.addMouseMotionListener( this ); getContentPane().add(layeredPane); // Add a chess board to the Layered Pane chessBoard = new JPanel(); chessBoard.setLayout( new GridLayout(8, 8) ); chessBoard.setPreferredSize( boardSize ); chessBoard.setBounds(0, 0, boardSize.width, boardSize.height); layeredPane.add(chessBoard, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER); // Build the Chess Board squares for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) { JPanel square = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() ); square.setBackground( (i + j) % 2 == 0 ?
