My application has a frame window whose initial size is set to the screen
size at application startup with the following  statement:

frame.setSize(frame.getToolkit().getScreenSize).

I have a menu option to set the Look and Feel dynamically.  However I find
that when I switch from Metal (the startup default) to, say, Windows the
size of the frame window gets changed to something larger than the screen.
I can no longer see the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons in the top
right hand corner of the frame.  The status bar at the bottom is also not
visible.

This is how I am changing the look and feel (copied from tutorial)


UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
");
    SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(frame);
    frame.pack()

Any help on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

TIA
George
