How to increase height of JSeparator in Java Swing

Question

I'm building an app to record orders and generate invoice for those orders. I use a jSeparator to separate the client info from the order info. But i want to increase the height of the Separator and change its colour also. Any help would be appreciated.

I have already tried using the setSize() Method but it doesn't work. I used netbeans drag and drop to design it so the initComponents method sets up all Swing components .

public GenInvoice() {
    initComponents();
    setLocationRelativeTo(this);
    jSeparator1.setSize(this.getWidth(), 4);
}

Alas separators are not designed to be modified like this, at least in their standard behavior. Customize it as suggested before (for example) or create your own new separator component. — Jean-Baptiste Yunès, Jan 29 '19 at 17:26

You can use setBounds(); instead of setSize(); and there you will place it too.

SetBounds() only works when layout is set to null and mine isn't – Dro Feb 14 '19 at 11:40
