title: AWT GUI - the same app show vast different frame sizes on different PC screen sizes
body: <p>I wrote a Java AWT GUI App which looks great on my 24" monitor. When I port the APP to a 14" laptop the Java frames look way too small. Obviously, something has to change, but what? A snippet of the frame definition follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   Private void initialize() {      
      this.setSize(700,400);                       // &lt;-- Frame size 
      this.setLayout(null);
      this.setVisible(true);
      this.setTitle("GPDisplay");
      this.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think that they key is the "Layout", but I am unfamiliar with how to use it. Is there a straightforward way to do this?</p>
