I do not even know if I can do this, so this may be quick and painless.
I have my existing code, all the fields, buttons, scroll panel and everything else where I need them. Simple FlowLayout is fine for what I am doing.
Yesterday I created this goofy little graphic and went to put it in right next to my buttons. Figured I would just insert it above the buttons and let FlowLayout handle the rest and just stick it where it wanted.
It wouldn't work. The graphic is there, no compile errors, no errors at all in fact, it just does not show up unless I open a separate panel (as I have below in bold).
Can I not stick this little graphic, meant to be like a logo, into my current GUI without having this extra panel open up?
