I'd like to try some different appearances than the built in look and feel and changing a color (http://www.codeproject.com/java/theme.asp). Our project doesn't have the time in the schedule to mess around with the look and feel much; so I'm wondering what else is out there. Thanks!

For custom PLAF's, I prefer something elegant, quick and (end) usable, like JGoodies <http://www.jgoodies.com/>. See this thread for a run-down of some other alternatives. <http://www.javakb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/java-gui/6848/SynthLookAndFeel> As an aside, searching for 'plaf' would be a lot more productive (when searching for Java themes) than, for example, the much more generic - 'theme'.

[...] The JGoodies Looks library that Andrew mentioned contains the Plastic L&f family that in turn contains a bunch of Metal Themes. If you don't want a new L&f, but just some themes, feel free to extract, use and redistribute them; the library is BSD licensed. If you want to test drive the Plastic themes, start the JGoodies Looks Demo. Also, in the PlasticLookAndFeel class, there's code that aims to find a theme that works well with the current desktop colors. -Karsten Back to top IchBin Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 7:37 pm    Post subject: Re: 3rd party Swing Themes Karsten Lentzsch wrote: Quote: Adam Sandler wrote: Just wondering, are there any 3rd party Swing themes available?
