Thank you

Create new JPanel with BorderLayout.
In this JPanel add another JPanel with a flowlayout : align left.
In ths jpanel with flowlayout, add the timer.
Add the flowlayout panel to the north of the borderlayout panel.
Add the borderlayout panel to the center of your frame.

I didn't test it (as paint didn't have a java compiler :P). But it should be along those lines.

Thank you, is working but there is any way to attach it on the PANEL 1 OR change the colour of the background? PANEL 1 has image that has lime green picture, so when timer appearing has the default grey colour on the top of the frame.

do setOpaque(true); on jpanel2

First part done, thank you wim DC.

Now i want to add a status window on East of the page. I have some problems. First, there is a gap between CENTER and EAST. My Frame has navy blue background, and the gap is white, i don't know why leaves a gap there. There is any solution? Secondly, status window has the same colour with the main part of the CENTER, not the edges. There is any solution for this too?

Attached again a plan using paint, excuse me, i'm not so good artist :P

Dude, forget you troubles and just get happy, chase all your layout away, instead use GridBagLayout, come get hapy, get ready for the judgment day.
