Are you asking a question of some sort? Or just making an observation?

BTW, absolute layout is the worst possible layout to use for something like this. You should use GridLayout for the UI in your screen shot.

im new in java desktop app, why grid layout is better than absolute. absolute is flexible, comfortable to change position

Actually, absolute layout is the most rigid and inflexible of all of them. It is essentially useless for any real application development and is only suitable for quick and dirty, throw away mock ups.

Also, what you see in the image is exactly what I would expect to see given the size of the button and choice of OS.
