GUI become's small whenever I make it visible

I've been making an app with java swing and JavaFX and didn't run into a problem until now. Whenever I set the guis visibility to true, the GUI becomes very small, when it should be 1150 px wide, 900 px tall. Does anyone get any ideas?
Main Gui code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class mainGui extends JFrame{
public static JFrame mainScreen = new JFrame("Tamo");
public mainGui() {
JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
mainScreen.setSize(1150, 900);
mainScreen.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
mainScreen.setResizable(false);
mainScreen.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
topPanel.setBackground(new Color(226, 230, 204));
topPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1150, 100));
mainScreen.add(topPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\uname\\Desktop\\TamoDienynas\\pngs\\tamo.png");
mainScreen.setIconImage(icon.getImage());
mainScreen.setVisible(false);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new mainGui();
}
}
Class which make's the gui visible:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import static me.rockorbonk.tamodienynas.GUI.mainGui.mainScreen;
public class loginGui extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
private static JFrame frame;
private static JLabel userLabel;
private static JLabel passwordLabel;
private static JLabel success;
private static JButton login;
private static JTextField userText;
private static JPasswordField passwordText;
loginGui() {
frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
frame.setSize(350, 200);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.add(panel);
panel.setLayout(null);
userLabel = new JLabel("User");
userLabel.setBounds(10, 20, 80, 25);
panel.add(userLabel);
userText = new JTextField();
userText.setBounds(100, 20, 165, 25);
panel.add(userText);
passwordLabel = new JLabel("Password");
passwordLabel.setBounds(10, 50, 80, 25);
panel.add(passwordLabel);
passwordText = new JPasswordField();
passwordText.setBounds(100, 50, 165, 25);
panel.add(passwordText);
login = new JButton("Login");
login.setBounds(10, 80, 80, 25);
login.addActionListener(this);
panel.add(login);
success = new JLabel("");
success.setBounds(10, 110, 300, 25);
panel.add(success);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\uname\\Desktop\\TamoDienynas\\pngs\\tamo.png");
frame.setIconImage(icon.getImage());
frame.setVisible(true);
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String uname = userText.getText();
String pwd = passwordText.getText();
if(uname.equals("rokasbruz") && pwd.equals("Rokas123")) {
success.setText("Sekmingai prisijungėte!");
ActionListener l = evt -> {
userLabel.setVisible(false);
passwordLabel.setVisible(false);
userText.setVisible(false);
passwordText.setVisible(false);
login.setVisible(false);
success.setVisible(false);
frame.setVisible(false);
mainScreen.setVisible(true);
mainScreen.pack();
};
Timer timer = new Timer(2000, l);
timer.setRepeats(false);
timer.start();
}
else{
success.setText("Slapyvardis arba slaptažodis nesutampa!");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new loginGui();
}
}
Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. I'm using IntelliJ ultimate as the IDE

mainScreen is just a JFrame that does not contain anything. Hence when you make it visible, all you see is the title bar. In order to initialize mainScreen you need to call mainGui constructor. Nonetheless, as Andrew Thompson wrote in his comment, your style of coding a Swing application is very unusual. Consider using a dialog as your login window.
Here is your code that displays mainScreen as I believe you intended. I only changed the ActionListener, in class loginGui, that displays mainGui. I added one line which is indicated with the comment ADDED THIS LINE

Here is how it appears (after logging in).

Java swing JTextField dissapears after adding a button to BorderLayout.SOUTH [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Java aligning components in panels
(1 answer)
Closed 6 years ago.
I add a JTextField to my game in the bottom left corner using a nested BorderLayout inside my main panel's BorderLayout.SOUTH. This works fine, but then when I add a button to go right next to it, my JTextField dissapears. Can someone please help?

Excerpt from the BorderLayout javadoc:
Each region may contain no more than one component, and is identified
by a corresponding constant: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, and
CENTER.
Your are first adding the text field and then the button to the same region (WEST), thus button just replaces the text field.
To solve the issue you can use FlowLayout for the panelBottom:
panelBottom.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));

Changing image when button pressed - Java

The gui has five buttons, and a default image. I would like the image to change when each of the buttons is pressed. I have tried this for 'pink' by updating the path but I am at loss as to what needs to be done each time.
public class PikminGui extends JFrame{
private JPanel buttons;
private JLabel title;
private JButton grow;
private JButton pink;
private JButton black;
private JButton blue;
private JButton red;
private JButton yellow;
private JFrame f;
private JLabel label;
private JPanel panel;
public String path;
public PikminGui() {
createGui();
}
public void createGui() {
path = "path-to-image1";
f = new JFrame();
panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setLocation(200,200);
f.setVisible(true);
title = new JLabel("PIKMIN MAKER", JLabel.CENTER);
panel.add(title,BorderLayout.NORTH);
grow = new JButton("Grow");
grow.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder());
panel.add(grow,BorderLayout.WEST);
buttons = new JPanel();
pink = new JButton("Pink");
pink.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
path = "path-to-image2";
}
});
black = new JButton("Black");
yellow = new JButton("Yellow");
blue = new JButton("Blue");
red = new JButton("Red");
buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
buttons.add(pink);
buttons.add(black);
buttons.add(yellow);
buttons.add(blue);
buttons.add(red);
panel.add(buttons,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
File file = new File(path);
BufferedImage image;
try {
image = ImageIO.read(file);
label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
panel.add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER );
f.getContentPane().add(panel);
f.pack();
f.add(panel);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

JLabel not displayed

I have a JLabel with an ImageIcon that isn't showing.
public class Lockscreen extends JFrame {
JPanel layer;
JButton signin;
ImageIcon heartlock;
String heartlockpath;
JLabel heartlockdisplay;
String arrowpath;
public Lockscreen(){
super("Startseite");
setSize(700, 400);
setLocation(100, 100);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
arrowpath = "C:\\Users\\saydanan\\Pictures\\FürMyDiary\\Right_Arrow.png";
signin = new JButton();
signin.setSize(19, 12);
signin.setIcon(new ImageIcon(arrowpath));
signin.setLocation(250, 500);
heartlockpath = "C:\\Users\\saydananPicturesFürMyDiary\\082326-green-jelly-icon-business-lock-heart.png";
heartlock = new ImageIcon(heartlockpath);
heartlockdisplay = new JLabel();
heartlockdisplay.setIcon(heartlock);
heartlockdisplay.setLocation(250, 250);
heartlockdisplay.setSize(heartlock.getIconWidth(), heartlock.getIconHeight());
heartlockdisplay.setVisible(true);
layer = new JPanel();
layer.setBackground(Color.black);
/*layer.setLayout(...);*/
addEverything(layer);
getContentPane().add(layer);
setVisible(true);
}
public void addEverything(JPanel panel){
panel.add(signin);
panel.add(heartlockdisplay);
panel.repaint();
}
}

You need to add it, and then set it to be visible.
As in:
panel.add(heartlockdisplay);
heartlockdisplay.setVisible(true);
panel.setVisible(true);

JButton Layout Issue

I'm putting together the basic layout for a contacts book, and I want to know how I can make the 3 test buttons span from edge to edge just as the arrow buttons do.
private static class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Code Placeholder");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
//down button
ImageIcon downArrow = new ImageIcon("down.png");
JButton downButton = new JButton(downArrow);
ButtonHandler downListener = new ButtonHandler();
downButton.addActionListener(downListener);
//up button
ImageIcon upArrow = new ImageIcon("up.png");
JButton upButton = new JButton(upArrow);
ButtonHandler upListener = new ButtonHandler();
upButton.addActionListener(upListener);
//contacts
JButton test1Button = new JButton("Code Placeholder");
JButton test2Button = new JButton("Code Placeholder");
JButton test3Button = new JButton("Code Placeholder");
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();
box.add(test1Button);
box.add(test2Button);
box.add(test3Button);
JPanel content = new JPanel();
content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
content.add(box, BorderLayout.CENTER);
content.add(downButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
content.add(upButton, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JFrame window = new JFrame("Contacts");
window.setContentPane(content);
window.setSize(400, 600);
window.setLocation(100, 100);
window.setVisible(true);
}

Following up on #kloffy's suggestion:
package playground.tests;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
public class ButtonTest extends TestCase {
public void testThreeButtons() throws Exception {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout());
JButton button1 = new JButton("A");
JButton button2 = new JButton("B");
JButton button3 = new JButton("C");
panel.add(button1);
panel.add(button2);
panel.add(button3);
JFrame window = new JFrame("Contacts");
window.setContentPane(panel);
window.setSize(300, 600);
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
int width = button1.getWidth();
assertEquals(width, button2.getWidth());
assertEquals(width, button3.getWidth());
}
}
