How to handle different screen size

Question

In my application I am using one JFrame and multiple jpanels. I make the JFrame fullScreen with setExtendedState() method. In the main jFrame I load jpanels during runtime. When I load jPanel I use jPanel.setBound(0, 0, 1000, 500).

This looks fine in 1024 x 756 size screens. But when screen size changes The jPanels look very small. Is it possible to maintain the ratio of the jPanels including the other components.

I do not like to use JInternalFrame to handle MDI. Because this looks very ugly when the JInternalFrame is maximized.

I am using null layout in the panels.

I suggest you to use "GridBagLayout".
