I express the required width and height of all GUI components as a
percentage of the screen size, which is retrieved by using ToolKit, and
calculate the required size (screenSize.width * required width,
screenSize.height, requiredheight) when the component is created. This
way the the main window, for instance, will always be, say, 90% of the
screen height and 95% of its width and the components will always occupy
the same amount of the main window. The same trick also works for scaling
fonts.
It gets actual workouts too, since the same apps run on my development
box, which uses a 1024x768 screen and on this laptop with a 1280x800
screen. Here's code showing how I get the screen dimensions:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class GetScreenSize extends JFrame implements Runnable
{
Toolkit toolkit = null;
Dimension d = null;
public static void main(String args[])
{
GetScreenSize gss = new GetScreenSize();
EventQueue.invokeLater(gss);
}
public void run()
{
toolkit = getToolkit();
d = toolkit.getScreenSize();
System.out.println("Screen width = " + d.getWidth());
System.out.println("Screen height = " + d.getHeight());
}
}
