You are using both frame.setSize() and frame.pack(). You can use only one of them at one time.

Using setSize() you give the size of frame you want but if you use pack() it will be automatically change the size of the frames according to the size of components in it. It will not consider the size you have mentioned earlier.

Remove frame.pack() o put it before setSize().

The problem is on pack method. Never use pack method with setSize;

frame.setSize(1024,768);

.........
//frame.pack(); Comment this line.

If you elect to use [`setSize()`](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7229662/230513), do so _after_ `pack()`. – trashgod May 25 '14 at 13:02
