Thanks for the tip! My labels were not showing up until I resized the window. This explains why. Using IntelliJ IDEA.

If the Image Icon is not showing up you can try: 'ImageIcon *name* = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("*FilePath*"));' instead of 'ImageIcon *name * = new ImageIcon(*FilePath*);'

How can I resize the image in a label. I palced a random image it only a part of it appeared in the label

[@shaikadil2197]

To resize the image icon, you'll have to translate the icon to an image, resize the image then translate the the image back to an icon. Here's the code ; ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon (filename.png): Image image = icon.getImage(); //transform the icon to an image. Image newimage = image.getScaledInstance(width, height, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH): icon=new ImageIcon(newimage);// this transforms the image back to an icon credit: Martin Wachira(Comments)

Isnt doing all this in Java , a little complicated. Can be done with less effort with CSS and Front end Javascript ... Whats your opinion ?

a little late, but this is a java course man, why would he do it in CSS or JavaScript in a Java course. Doesnt matter if its complicated.

[@geocojonnrigor]

Thanks for the tutorial. But I have a question. Why is it when I run the program the GUI's Appearance doesn't update, it's just empty/blank white window. It just gets updated or fixed whenever I just resize the window's size or hit maximize or minimize button. I mean it's not a big deal, but just annoying since I have to do that whenever I need to run the code.
