hi,


I also have an app with the same GUI - an infoPanel and a gamePanel, they are in the mainPanel

this is how I did it, and it works fine:

these are just those parts of the code where the layout is important:

infoPanel = new JPanel(); infoPanel.add(new JLabel("Number of moves: ")); infoPanel.add(movesText); layout = new GridLayout(rowLength,rowLength); gamePanel = new JPanel(layout); mainPanel = new JPanel(); mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS)); mainPanel.add(infoPanel); mainPanel.add(gamePanel); frame.setContentPane(mainPanel);


have you tried to change the
application.add(contentPanel);
to
application.setContentPane(contentPanel);
?
