JToolBar spanning half of JFrame


I am creating a text editor similar to gedit. In toolbar, i have used 10 buttons with icons. I am using a JFrame with BorderLayout. Toolbar is placed at north. But the problem is that the buttons are becoming too big and toolbar is covering almost half of the frame. All the icons are of size 512x512px. I tried resizing the icons but it didnt work. It works properly if the icons of the images are removed.

Solution

  • scale the Images the following way and it should work

    new JButton("New", new ImageIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("new.png")).getImage().getScaledInstance(50, 50, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH)));
    

    I am scaling to 50X50 you can use any proper size that suit your application
