Hi this is driving me crazy, I'm working on a project using Netbeans Java IDE and one problem I keep facing is that the preview design is drastically different from the runtime design. I do not know why this keeps happening, I have included both pictures for your references. On top is the picture of the preview design which is what I want the end result to be and below is the runtime design which as you can see is very different from the one on top. I've tried everything and I make sure to compile the code first and then press run, still, the result is different every time. If you know of how to solve this problem do let me know it will help me a lot in my project, thank you so much.
(Edited) In case you want the code for you to see for yourself:
public class mainpage extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form mainpage
*/
public mainpage() {
initComponents();
}
/**
* This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
* regenerated by the Form Editor.
