actually i don't like people who write a piece of code without much considering what it should do... i mean - you did the layout before you did any thinking. anyways... your code throws a number format exception when clicking the option button... and moving around a picture should be easy.. put it in a jlabel and change the jlabels position xPos--/xPos++ and yPos--/yPos++ if the up/down or left/right buttons are pressed...
