There isn't exactly anything wrong with my code, it's fine although the order isn't correct, I think, which makes my shapes appear behind the center panel. I'm not sure how to correct this as I've drawn my shapes under a paint method.
I've tried moving the paint method before and after the initialising method and repainted in either methods but it will then present only one or the other; the combos/txts, etc or the shapes.
So at the moment I've positioned the shape method after the initialising method and have not repainted in neither methods. The shapes will only appear if I resize the applet, why is that?
-Sorry about all of the comments and thanks to anyone that helps
