images in buttons

[patrick]

4 JButtons in a JPanel. Im trying to add .gif images so that the images are
centered in the buttons.And will stay centered if the application is resized
or the screen resolution is changed.
How do I go about this?

Do I make images Photoshop with the same pixel size as the buttons, or same
inch dimensions (at some resolution)

when the screen resolution is changed does the image get resized in
proportion alsoalso?
The JPanel will be Flow layout i think.

create an Image from the gif :
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(...)
create an ImageIcon from the Image
set the ImageIcon as the icon of your JButton
see JButton properties to set how the icon will be placed in the JButton
