Nope, same thing as always, slider length is 1024 (covers the whole
applet).

Change the layout manager to something that honors preferred size.

My preference is GridBagLayout.

same problem, does not honor, heres the code foo.java , width is 200
not 400

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class foo extends JApplet {
    public void init() {
        GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints;

        setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.weightx = 1.0;
        add(new JPanel(), gridBagConstraints);

        gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
        gridBagConstraints.gridx = 1;
        gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;
        gridBagConstraints.fill = java.awt.GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
        JSlider s = new JSlider(0, 400);
        add(s, gridBagConstraints);
        validate();
        Dimension d = s.getSize();
        d.width = 400;
        s.setSize(d);
        validate();
    }
}
