The simplest way to build a decent gui when using java is to use the 
grid layout.  That way, all your items are automatically configured for 
you.  I too am visually impaired, and I've written multiple java 
programs, no issue setting up a gui when grid mode is in use, java 
handles all the hard work for you.  It's not a pretty as doing it 
yourself, (assuming you can see the silly thing), but it sure does the 
trick for those of us who can't see the gui elements.
