Swing Button Look and Feel Based On Size?

I have made a JButton:

JButton button = new JButton("Button");

Then added it to a JPanel:

panel.add(button, BorderLayout.CENTER);

Photo of the Button:

JButton

I have noticed 2 different types of JButtons:

thin thick

I like the button titled "OK", is there any way I can set this as the preferred style of the button? Or if this can not be done, is there a way to make a panel with a fixed height, and add it to the center of another panel?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Overrride getPreferredSize() method but I never suggest you to use it. It's required only in case of custom painting in AWT and Swing.

    JButton btn = new JButton(){
    @Override
    public Dimension getPreferredSize(){
        return new Dimension(40, 40);
    }
};
