    problem :

    when i run my java app at the current screen res [1024*768], all is fine
    when i run it at say, 800*600, buttons/fields etc get chopped off !! the screen looses some parts and generally looks crap

    question :

    how can i creat the application so that i changes dynamically as per the screen size ? will i need to start again with a JPanel and JScrollPane for all the conent on screen ?

    can the prog not change the screen res by itself when it starts and back to default when it exits ?

    HELP

    GridBagLayout will resize your buttons/textfields etc automatically when you change the window size. I don't know if it picks up when the screen res changes, but it's worth a try.

    Yes. Using JNI to call windows API function ChangeDisplaySettings.

    ive tried gridbaglayout, fine on the res that i designed it on, but otherwise it fails with same results

    this JNI, are there any good resources on that ? sun obviously, but for the newcomer ? would i have to design the entire program using JNI ?

    You won't have to do the whole program using JNI; just the call to ChangeDisplaySettings.
