Hello again,
first of all thanks for your answer, this is not strictly java-linux
related so I do a general reply to everybody.
About the 3 rows of buttons, 2 rows with 3 buttons, the last row with 2
buttons, I probably failed to explain exactly what was the problem.

So now you have to override all the gui components just to override one
method? I would think that would be a lot of work for very little gain,

I think the solution to your layout is to use GridBagLayout. If I understand your
description, you will need a 10 column / 3 row layout. The first two rows occupy
columns 1&2, 5&6, 9&10. Row 3 buttons occupy columns 2-4, 7-9. However, the
multi-panel layout is not at all unreasonable. All this ass
You can accomplish that using the GridBag layout manager, but that is quite
hard to use. A much easier layout manager to use is the GraphPaper layout
manager, which comes with the java tutorial.
I agree with you about the setting color for all the components of the panel.
