How can i put empty space between the border of my JFrame and the objects i
put on the screen? I'm using a GridLayout with 3 rows and 1 column, the
problem is that my screen i completly filled with the elements; How can i
tell the GridLayout or the frame that i need an empty space between the
gridlayout and the frame?

Apply the Gridlayout to a JComponent, add that to the frame and do:
myJComponent.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10)); // or
similar

or if you don't mind space between your 3 grid cells as well then just do

new GridLayout(3,0,10,10); where 10,10 is the space between cells in x & y

teh! (rolls eyes)

Well for pity's sake Mike, I thought my
answer was entirely adequate. Before
_you're_ done you'll have written a SSCE
with buttons to adjust the border size!

Leave some work for the _OP_ ;-)

I try and look at this forum as, rather selfishly, a learning experience for
me.
If someone asks and I think I can answer i shall in as full a manner as I am
able and my time allows, or I can be bothered to muster. If it is wrong I
shall learn more than posting myself, because people seem more willing to
'set you right' than 'help you out' ;-)
But that is usenet in general, certainly a more helpful and down right nice
bunch you couldn't hope to come across than on c.l.j.* :-)
