huh. I tried it without the JEmailMenuBar (It has a JMenuBar and a JToolbar in it arranged with a GridBagLayout) and it still doesn't work for me....

Are there any methods that I'm forgetting to call, or something like that?

Ok, I changed my JEmailMenuBar to extend the JMenuBar class, ad added it through the setJMenuBar() method, but it didn't help the contentViever's sizing problems....

If you want to change the size of any control use setPreferredSize() method.

YAY! I got it, Thanks so much for your help =D It ended up that It was the placement of some static variables. I was trying it access them from another package and I think some how it was throwing it off somehow... the whole static thing is still kind of new to me O.o but very useful.
