I'm not certain what a swing Palette is. Probably a graphical GUI builder of 
some sort. Two that I am aware of are associated with the Netbeans and Eclipse 
IDEs. Questions regarding these tools are probably better asked in their 
respective forums.

For Netbeans somewhere near here:

For Eclipse near here:

you make jLabel1 become invisible and invisible using two buttons.

You will need to let your LayoutManager know your intentions. The best I can 
offer is a pointer to the Swing tutorial on LayoutManagers.

How your builder practices layout is better learned from it's documentation and 
body of practitioners.

Since my last post I have come up with a possible use for a disappearing label.
In the TextComponentDemo, located here:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html>

you might use the technique to enable/disable the status label component. I'm 
not sure it's a great idea but, what the heck. I just about have the code 
stripped down to demonstrate the idea and will post back here when I am able. 
Unless of course someone in the meantime writes in telling me that that is a 
real crappy idea, and comes up with something better.
