I am using the drag and drop system of netbeans to create my GUI.
I created a button and added an icon to it, my problem is that the image is to big for the size I want the button to be.
Is there any way of making this icon having the same size as the button?

The size of the button is determined by the size of the Icon.
You can create a new Image by using the Image.getScaledInstance(...) method and then create an new ImageIcon from the scaled image.
Depending on your exact requirement and usage of layout managers, you might be able to use the Stretch Icon which will adjust the size of the image as the size of the button is changed.

I have a frame with a border layout that includes a panel with a border layout at its center that has a label in its center that presents images.
Another thread is accessing that label to portray images that can be seen as a video - this works.
However, the frame itself is sized this way every time:

I have to resize it manually to show the image every time I run the program.
SetPreferredSize doesn't change or do anything to achieve what I want.
The code:

Is there any way to initiate the frame at a specific size before it gets the images?
You might be looking for .setMinimumSize instead. setPreferredSize does not provide constraints and can thus be changed by other components such as the container that is used to show the image.
let's say I want to do a program like photoshop or lightroom in java where I work with one image on the left side and I have a menu on the right side with all the options. How could I set the size of the panel where the menu is contained to scale correctly with multiple resolutions?
I was thinking on getting the current system resolution of the system (getScreenResolution()) and then multiply it by some factor like 0.3-0.2 and set that as width but I'm not sure if that works properly with higher resolutions or you would loose too much working space in the menu (I just have a small laptop to try).
I wasn't able to find any question like this, or something easier to work with the dpi in android.

Just use a proper layout manager and let the layout manager do its job.
For example you can use a BorderLayout.
Create a panel for your menus and add that panel to the BorderLayout.LINE_END and the panel will be displayed at its preferred size.
Then create a second panel for the image and add that panel to the BorderLayout.CENTER. Now this panel will automatically be resized to fill the space as the frame is resized.
I have a very big image but I want to resize it inside jLabel in Netbeans using jLabel properties. Please help me if possible.
You can use the Image.getScaledInstance(...) method to scale the image to your desired size.
Then you create an ImageIcon using the image and add the Icon to the JLabel.
Edit:
You can also try using Darryl's Stretch Icon. Using this class the Icon will resize dynamically as frame resizes if you use an appropriate layout manager.
The buttons in my JavaFX application look very nice on all operating systems with default font settings.
Howerver, if I increase the scale of text in the windows control panel,
the text on the JavaFX buttons increases wheareas the button size stays the same.
Therefore I get a button with 3 letters and an ellipsis (...).
How can I achieve that control elements in javaFX scale according to the system font?
It depends of multiple things.
First the layout in wich are your button.
And if you set a hard size to your button.
verify that you don't set a size to your button. And the parent layout size to a size smaller than the button size.
And try to set your button size with button.setPrefWidth(Control.USE_COMPUTED_SIZE) if it's still not working your parent layout is probably the cause.
You should try to play a little with SceneBuilder for a better understanding of how layout works
I currently have a JDialog (class that implements JDialog and is constructed like a jframe), and has 3 swing buttons placed on it. Currently I have it set, undecorated = true, to hide the outer frame. Is there any way to use my image to replace the default square frame?
This is what I aim for :
The blue square with shadow is the pre made image.

Well, the best way would be to set the background of the panel and then add a ShadowBorder to the panel. This will provide you with far more flexibility in the future as you can create many panels with different colors and reuse the same ShadowBorder instead of having to create an Image every time. I don't have an example of a ShadowBorder, but you might find one if you search the web.

But if you really want to use your premade Image, then you can just:
create a JLabel and add your Image to the label as an Icon
add the label to the dialog
set the layout manager of the label
add your components to the label.
