I'm making a small chat program for my friend with encrypting and decrypting messages. Right now I'm just creating the GUI and I will add the TCP later. I can't figure out how to update the String Time() without the label overlapping the last String. Thanks for the help.

Well in your update method you're constantly creating a new JLabel instead of "updating" one. That could be the culprit.

I fixed the problem:

package main;
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
 
public class Window {
 
	static JFrame window;
	static Panels panel;
	static Paint paint;
	static boolean loop1 = true;
	static boolean Login = true;
	static boolean Join = false;
	static boolean Create = false;
	static boolean Friends = false;
	static boolean Account = false;
	static boolean Settings = false;
	static Color red = new Color(176, 23, 31);
	static Color yellow = new Color(205, 173, 0); 
 
	static public void Frame(){
		window = new JFrame("Instant Messaging v1.0");
		window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		window.setSize(400, 400);
		window.setResizable(false);
		window.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
		window.setVisible(true);
	}
 
	static public void State(){
		panel = new Panels();
		window.add(panel.Login());
		window.setJMenuBar(panel.Menu());
	}
 
	public static void main(String s[]){
		paint = new Paint();
		Frame();
		State();
 
		while(loop1){
			panel.Time();
		}
	}
}

package main;
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
public class Paint extends JPanel{
 
	@Override
	public void paint(Graphics g){
		super.paint(g);
		g.setClip(0, 0, 400, 400);
		Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
		g2d.setColor(new Color(205, 173, 0));
		g2d.fillRect(0,0,200, 200);
	}
}

The program is compiled without an error, but the yellow rectangle that should occupy 1/4 of the panel is not painting onto the panel.

You will need to post the missing class Panels() to be sure, but I do not see where the Paint() paint is ever added to a container. I also see that you are setting the JFrame visible before adding all of it's contents. Be sure everything has been added prior to calling setVisible(true) on the frame.
Methods should begin with a lower case letter.
Paint, Window, and Frame are not very well chosen class names to be used in Java.

If you have any more questions post enough code to compile so we can see what is going on instead of guessing.

Sorry, should have known to do that. Thanks for the tip, I'm changing the method names right now. I don't want to add the graphics into a container, I thought I could just paint onto the panel itself, but I'm not sure.

Be sure to post the revised code with new questions so everyone is looking at the same code.

They have to be if you plan to show them, more below.

Yes, you can get the content pane of the jframe and then get it's graphics and then draw on it. Rather that that I usually take a slightly different route:

Make a top level frame (JFrame for example)
Make a component to draw on (JPanel, JApplet for example)
Override paintComponent(Graphics g) in the JPanel and do your drawing there.
Add the JPanel to the JFrame, or set the JPanel as the content pane of the JFrame.

This way the JPanel can be a class that extends JPanel and house other methods used to draw on that panel, as a stand alone class. Kind of gives it the black-box in OOP.

I'm sorry, but I tried to create it in the way you described in your post, but I couldn't make it work. I tried to google methods to use Graphics g in separate class files, but no dice. I have tried many ways, but all have failed. I'm stuck. Also in my panels class, I started creating the GUI layout for my join panel, when I added Label1 it worked, but when I added JTextField, only a grey frame popped up.

I really like this method of using Graphics, but I think I might be adding it to the frame at the wrong time because the rectangle is still not painting onto the panel.

Some suggestions as I read the code;
Window is the name of an existing java class and should not be used as the name of a different java class.
Multiple variable declarations out scope their needs. (too many fields and not enough local variables)
Read the following code sample:

Window window = new Window();
window.frame();
window.state();
window.time();

What just happened to that window in this sample program? Read the next sample:

MyWindow window = new MyWindow();
window.getPlainOldJFrame();
window.addPrettyDecorations();
window.displayClock();

By reading that code I can guess the code probably displays a clock in a decorative frame. The idea is that method names should suggest their purpose to the reader. Not that MyWindow is an excellent name for a class either, but at least it is not the name of a java class. Class names should describe the object the class represents, as the term "Window" does, but "Window" has been used.
As I begin to read the second class posted, I realize it is as long as the minute hand on BigBen, so my last suggestion is to cut out the complexity for forum samples. You don't need 40 buttons, 2 or 3 is plenty for a sample with multiple, or just one if the question is about using a button to trigger an action. Leave out as much unnecessary code as possible when trying to understand a concept, and leave the code untouched when trying to correct an error.
