Why not use the standard java Look and Feels there are plenty:
- JGoodies
- JTatoo
- Jide look and feel
- Liquidlnf
- Napkin LaF
- PgsLookAndFeel
- Quaqua (looks like aqua from MacOS X)
- Seaglass
- The Alloy Look and Feel
- The native for your system
- The nimbus LaF
- The substance project (forked into the Insubstantial project)
- WebLookAndFeel
Also see here for more free L&Fs:
Alternatively you may want to know how to create your own:
Or Modifying the Look and Feel might be what you need

I am right now working on a job of retouching the user interface of a software which is coded in Java. The interface is now built using Swing. I am looking for a library of Java Swing components, which should look better than the original
JComponent
s.I have already found SlickerBox; the components there look much better than the originals. However, I don't like the color of the components in SlickerBox, and I can't find the way to customize the color. I am looking for a better library.
I would appreciate your answer!
