copied!<blockquote> <p>I am loading a JFrame showing the company logo and credits etc before starting the main application. I am having some problems. Fist of all, the size of my new JFrame can never be set. The JFrame looked fine when I previewed it under netBean but came out smaller every time. I tried to do it with a new constructor and setSize(), but still not working. </p> </blockquote> <p>It is very difficult to suss out what is wrong without seeing your code, but having said that, your comment about this being a NetBeans-generated GUI suggests that the code will be very large and hard to read and interpret. It is for this and many other reasons that I am not a fan of using NetBeans to generate GUI's, especially for newbies who are just learning how to use Swing. I suggest that you write out your GUI code by hand with some user-friendly layout managers, nested by nesting JPanels if necessary. If you do it this way, you'll have some greater flexibility and control in the construction of your GUI, and you'll also have readable and debuggable code that you can post here for our assessment and help should it not work out right for you.</p> <blockquote> <p>Second, the JFrame has been loaded very slowly. No images and everything could be loaded and the JFrame stays blank for at least five seconds, really kind of annoying. Do it have anything to do with where I put the image files? Thanks alot. </p> </blockquote> <p>This sounds like a threading issue. I'd just load the images for the intro GUI first, then show the intro window, and then in a background thread, load any other resources that the program needs.</p> <p>Having said all this, you probably want to look into using Java's own <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/splashscreen.html" rel="nofollow">splash screen</a> as this may do all that you're trying to cobble together on your own. The tutorials can help you with this (please click on link above or <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/splashscreen.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>).</p>
