Component size changes when I move to another L&F

Hi,

I have a swing program that I just imported over to a unix box; I had programed the whole thing under windows. I noticed that some of my components, especially JButtons, are resized (shrunked height). Has anyone come across this problem? I have tried to set the preffered, max, and min size to the size I want but it still isn't working. I have used the setBounds() to set up the layout and size initially. How can I get around this? Also, I am using the getSystemLookAndFeel() method to set up the L&F in the starting of my prog. Please help me solve this problem. Also is there any tutorials out there that explain (w/ examples) how to use property files?

I would really apprecite any help that I can get.

Thank you

Hi,

Did you use any special layout manager? Like GridBagLayout?
