How to make Paint and GUI?

[Nox]

Having trouble finding a good guide on making GUI and Paints. And if I can use a png as my paints or GUI or it is all built-in code?

For the paint, ya you can use images anmd draw test over it and all of that, it basicly uses Graphics2D
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html

For the Gui I always go for some plain java swing and open it in the onStart method

Regarding a swing GUI, JFormDesigner for IntelliJ is my goto!

Thank you both, I will definitely try these out and I only just saw the GUI Designer for IntelliJ after I made this post. I might have dumb questions but with zero coding knowledge I want to make my first script that may be useful for some.

Damn, placing stuff where you want it with the Designer is annoying as hell.
