There were a number of other potential differences (I)
listed, including screen size and resolution, default
font size, and PLAF.

While some of those might be identical for both
PC's..

am not sure if I am able to upgrade to 1.6,


..The PLAF migh be slightly different even between
1.5 and 1.6. Though of course, the really important
thing for me to discuss is..

Andrew:
 The code you provided was correct syntactically but didnt fix the
appearance problem.


..that's a bummer. And really the relevant (to my point)
negation of what I was saying. Or to put that another,
simpler way.

"Seems I was wrong"

...The only difference was that the button and combo
box were centered in the frame.

Looks neat on my PC (XP Pro, running 1.6, using
screen res. of 1024x786 and relatively 'default' settings
otherwise).

Any other ideas?


Can you give us a screen shot of the new GUI?

Also I would be interested to hear any critique of my
new (or your original) layouts. Though more interested
in hearing critiques of mine, because I was *really*
confident that would sort the problem, and would like
to get to the bottom of what went wrong.

Come on you GUI gurus, where are you hiding?
