JButton Position Icon

Question

Is there any way to change the position of the icon image in JButton?

Here's what it looks like now:

I want to move the icon more to the left.

I tried changing the alignment of the text, but it does not work the way I want:

myButton.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.RIGHT);

Answer 1

Decision

I added an empty border (you can add any type of border) to myButton, and now it looks like this:

the code:

myButton.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(4, 4, 2, 20));

Answer 2

You can change the space between the icon and the text with setIconTextGap(int). Also, aligning the content to the JButtonleft can help with setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT).
