Hi - I am trying to resize a JButton icon with in a JToolbar. Just like when you select small view Icon in a Cocoa applications for Cocoa ToolBar Icon. I have tried both:

setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10,10));
setBounds(50,50,50,50);
setSize(new Dimension(10,10));

Neither proved successful. What API syntax should I look at to achieve this effect?

Hi - I found this is in the JavaDoc:

-------------------------
setSize

public void setSize(float width, float height)

Sets the size of the view. Since Icon doesn't support this functionality, there is nothing we can do._
-------------------------
Does this mean that icon does not work with setSize?

Don't give up that easy!

Icon may not provide that functionality out of the box, but you could create your own subclass of Icon which implements the scaling functionality you're looking for. If you're lucky you may even be able to Google a pre-written solution.

Thanks Jolt Guy, I did a goggle search and found it. The funny thing is that it was all the time on the java.sun site. Were I had search using their search tool to no avail, and yet goggle gets it first time. For those interested here is the link.
