How do I get rid of the automatic inset on MigLayout in Java?

I'm using MigLayout to create a UI. My Question is, how do I get rid of the grey / whitish inset on the screen and make the whole background of the applet dark brown? (53, 9, 9)

I've attached a photo of that better explains the issue I'm having below.

enter image description here

Just set the insets to be 0 in the layout constraint, like "insets 0".

Just create one panel and set it as the JFrame's content pane.

Your sample is pretty complicated and not runnable since it has references to image and sound files... Here's a simple example that should give you a better idea of how to achieve what you want: 

import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;

public class Casino extends JFrame
{

    public Casino()
    {
        JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel (new MigLayout());
        buildMainUI(mainPanel);
        setContentPane(mainPanel);
        setSize(780, 700);
        setResizable(false);
        setTitle("White Lily Casino");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public void buildMainUI(JPanel mainUI)
    {
        mainUI.setBackground(new Color(53, 9, 9));

        // Background items
        JLabel title = new JLabel("Title");
        title.setForeground(Color.CYAN);
        mainUI.add(title, "dock north");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Casino wlc = new Casino();
    }
}

P.S. Since you're using miglayout there are better ways of positioning your buttons than with absolute coordinates. Check out the cheatsheet or quickstart guide.
