Eclipse game window opening very small

Whenever I run my game, the game window opens up very small, like below, how can I fix this. I believe it is something to do with JFrame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(x,y)); but I don't know where to implement this in the code for it to work.
This is what it shows:
enter image description here
Where do I implement the code? Like in the class, outside the class, or do I need to show my current code for someone to help me here?
This is my code:
public class RoadAppMain extends JFrame {

private static final int D_H = 1280; //Window height
int grassWidth = 1920; //Width of grass
int vanishHeight = 768; // Height of vanishing point
int roadWidth = 900; //Width of the road
int rumbleLen = 800; //Length of each track stripe
double camDist = 0.8; //Camera distance
int N; //Size of each row or line
int playerPosX = 0; //Movement of player left and right
int playerPosY = 0; //Movement of player up and down
List<Line> lines = new ArrayList<RoadAppMain.Line>();
List<Integer> listValues = new ArrayList<Integer>();

Move game screen diagonally using arrow keys

I'm creating a car game where it creates a 3D pseudo effect by moving the screen backwards and the car itself just stays still on the map, using the arrow keys. It only takes in one input at a time, meaning you have to let go of an arrow key first. I have some code that I've got to show what I'm aiming for the screen to do as well, as the screen only moves forwards, backwards, left, and right.
Example of what I want the screen to do:
public class Main extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 7722803326073073681L;
private boolean left = false;
private boolean up = false;
private boolean down = false;
private boolean right = false;
public JLabel lbl = new JLabel ("mn");
public Main() {
// Just setting up the window and objects
setSize(400, 400);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
lbl.setBounds(100, 100, 20, 20);
add(lbl);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
// Key listener, will not move the JLabel, just set where to
addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
#Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}
#Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) left = false;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) right = false;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP) up = false;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) down = false;
}
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) left = true;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) right = true;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP) up = true;
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) down = true;
}
});
// This thread will read the 4 variables left/right/up/down at every 30 milliseconds
// It will check the combination of keys (left and up, right and down, just left, just up...)
// And move the label 3 pixels
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
while (true) {
if (left && up) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() - 10, lbl.getY() - 10, 20, 20);
} else if (left && down) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() - 10, lbl.getY() + 10, 20, 20);
} else if (right && up) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() + 10, lbl.getY() - 10, 20, 20);
} else if (right && down) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() + 10, lbl.getY() + 10, 20, 20);
} else if (left) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() - 10, lbl.getY(), 20, 20);
} else if (up) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX(), lbl.getY() - 10, 20, 20);
} else if (right) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX() + 10, lbl.getY(), 20, 20);
} else if (down) {
lbl.setBounds(lbl.getX(), lbl.getY() + 10, 20, 20);
}
Thread.sleep(30);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
}
}
}).start();
}

However, since the code above only moves the letters, I'm having a lot of difficulty in implementing it in the game as well. This is what I'm currently using to move the screen. (If I were to delete this method, nothing would appear).

int roadWidth = 900; //Width of the road
int rumbleLen = 800; //Length of each track stripe
double camDist = 0.8; //Camera distance
int N; //Size of each row or line
int playerPosX = 0; //Movement of player left and right

How to optimize this kind of loop?

I'm trying to make this GUi.
I write my own layout because existing layout manager don't meet my requirements
It works but I attempt to optimize the creation of all buttons by using loops.

My first attempt was:

children[1].add(new JButton("1"), new XYConstraints(x, y, w, h));
for (y = 325, x = 0; y > 0 && x < 280; y = y - 50, x = x + 40)
children[2].add(new JButton("2"), new XYConstraints(x, y, w, 2 * h));
for (y = 275, x = 0; y > 0 && x < 240; y = y - 50, x = x + 40)
children[3].add(new JButton("3"), new XYConstraints(x, y, w, 3 * h));
but something's missing like a loop for "children[i]".I'm sure there is a better solution to improve the loop Any idea of improvement or suggestion ? Thanks

I write my own layout because existing layout manager don't meet my requirements
Right idea, but your implementation is incorrect. The fact that you need to provide the x/y values means you are not using a layout manager but just hardcoding some values.
Instead you need to provide information to the layout manager to define the parameters of the layout, maybe something like:
MyLayout layout = new MyLayout(xSize, ySize, xOffset, yOffset);
So for the first panel you would use:
MyLayout layout = new MyLayout(50, 50, 0, 50);
This code would say that each component is (50, 50). As you add components to the panel you change the x offset by 0 and the y offset = -50.
You know you have 8 buttons so you can use math to figure out the width/height of the panel. You can then use a loop inside the layout manager to position each component.
So now you add components to the panel like:
panel.add( new JButton("1") );
panel.add( new JButton("2") );
panel.add( new JButton("3") );
For the second panel you might use:
MyLayout layout = new MyLayout(50, 100, 50, 50);
So this time it means each button know has a size of (50, 100) and each button is placed (50, -50) to the previous button.
This is how layout managers should be created. You should not need complex loops to build the constraints of each component that you add to the panel. That is the job of the layout manager.

You could try:
for( int i=1; i<=3; i++ ) {
x = 0;
for( y=375-((i-1)*50; y>0; y-=50, x+=40 ) {
children[i].add(new JButton((String)i), new XYConstraints(x, y, w, i*h));
}
}

Change Hue of Picture in Graphics

Ok so i need help changing the hue of this slider. I cant seem to figure it out. Please no #override. I need something that will run on Ready to Program. The hue will change back to normal when the slider is back at 0. I dont need to get too complex. Just a simple Hue slider will be great. Thanks!

I wasn't sure what 'color' you were referring to, so I made some guesses. Here is an hybrid application/applet (much easier for development and testing) that links the color of the bottom panel, as well as the bottom color of the gradient paint, to a hue as defined using the slider.

How can I change the shape of a JTabbedPane tab?

I am trying to change the shape of the tabs in a JTabbedPane. Using setTabComponentAt(0, someComponent); doesn't change the exterior of the tab, which is a rectangle with a diagonal top-left corner. What may be done to change the shape?

correct way is only to change Look and Feel, nice example from Old.Java.Forums.Sun

The shape is under the aegis of the tabbed pane's UI delegate, which descends from TabbedPaneUI. The MetalTabbedPaneUI subclass is an example that may help you decide how badly you want to replace the delegate.

You can put html tags into the first parameter of addTab method as following :
MyJTabbedPane.addTab("<html><h1 style='padding:20px;'>TEST</h1></html>", new JPanel());
