    :S

    Solved my own problem after looking a bit, maybe I shoulda waited before I posted this, but the simplest solution I found is:

    buttonName.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(ButtonWidth, ButtonHeight));

    i don't know how this works in other layouts, but in a gridLayout w/ panels etc. it works like a charm

    Most layouts respect the component preferred size. See Laying Out Components
