🚀 go-pugleaf

Thank you very much for your response. Yes, I'd like to try it out sometime.

I gave up GridBagLayout (since I didn't receive any response and since I didn't find anything on the Internet relating to my problem), and am using BoxLayout now as you suggested. Its behaviour is much predictable and logical; using struts and the nested Boxes, we can do what GrigBagLayout premisses, although code becomes longer and messy...)

Thanks again.
