Java/Swing: low-profile button height?

Question

I would like to reduce the vertical size of a JButton. The following code works fine for K > 1 but I can\'t seem to reduce the size. Any suggestions?

JButton         


        

Answer 1

Maybe just play with the Border of the button:

Insets insets = button.getInsets();
insets.top = 0;
insets.bottom = 0;
button.setMargin( insets );
