    For better help sooner, post an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org/) - hot-link to an icon or generate an image in code. – Andrew Thompson Dec 26 '12 at 06:48
  • i am using net beans so putting net beans auto generated code here, i do't think is a good idea. – Haseeb Wali Dec 26 '12 at 06:51
  • Using Netbeans when you don't know how to program Java or override the defaults of your IDE is also not a good idea. Voting to close. – Andrew Thompson Dec 26 '12 at 06:52
  • i am a bit good at swing for time saving,i preffered net beans over coding..and i have changed many look and feels via coding in my application so it's not a big problem for me. – Haseeb Wali Dec 26 '12 at 06:54
  • Good for you, and good luck with it. – Andrew Thompson Dec 26 '12 at 06:55
  • I agree with you there are a lot of problems in selecting net beans and i learnt my lesson that's why will never go for it...but for this project i can not go back to drawing board and start coding. – Haseeb Wali Dec 26 '12 at 06:58

  • use JSplitPane with one JPanel (left side) and CardLayout with JTabbedPanes (for CENTER area)

  • put JToggleButtons with Icons (left JPanel)

  • put JTabbedPanes by using CardLayout (CENTER JFrames area)

  • use proper Borders for nicer output to the screen
