    Why wouldn't a label show when you remove the layout manager and use setBounds() to position and size it. Are you sure the size is correct? Print out its width and height to make sure.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Please why?
    You print out the values of things to see if they are what you expect them to be. If the values are different, then your assumptions about how the program is working are probably wrong.

    Did you print out the sizes of the labels as I suggested in post#26?
    You use the labels values in the setBounds() call. What are they?

    Did you print out the sizes of the labels: logo and picture as I suggested in post#26?
    You use the labels' values in the setBounds() call. What are they?
    logo.setBounds(600, 100, logo.getWidth(), logo.getHeight());

    What are the values in red?

    You are assuming you know something. To be sure, you need to Print out the values before they are used.

    I am trying to have you debug your program so you can see what the problem is.
    Have you printed out the values I have been talking about so you can see the problem?
    Print out the values that are shown in red in post #34.

    i changed everything in setBounds
    Post the all the changes you made to the setBounds() calls. If you really had changed everything there, the images in the labels would have shown.

    I will post all th changes that I've made in my codes but Plz test it and check my problem .. Cuz I worked with a grad student and we tried but he said everything seems good that must work .. So if u really know the problem Plz tell me .. Cuz the bounds is good and I wrote it exactly like every single example that I've seen in google..

    I do NOT understand why you refuse to do what I have been recommending for many posts.
    Please explain why you will not do the following:
    Have you printed out the values I have been talking about so you can see the problem?
    Print out the values that are shown in red in post #34.

    I wait to see what is printed out.

    everything seems good that must work
    Famous last words. I think the captain of the Titanic said something like that.
