BTW you don't have to use resolution at all. Method .setLocation() has two integers as parameters. You also don't need to divide by 3 and 5 (that's just my "calculation").

I didn't even know there is such method. I just tried out setLocationRelativeTo() and I got this: http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/9708/23010367yq3.jpg The way I use my setLocation() I get this: http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/2662/75630682pl0.jpg BTW I don't use NetBeans, just pure Eclipse.
