Heres the code that creates a Dialog which allows the user of your application to change the Look And Feel based on the user s systems  Alternatively  if you can store the wanted Look And Feel s on your application  then they could be  portable   which is the desired result      public void changeLookAndFeel              List lt String gt  lookAndFeelsDisplay   new ArrayList lt  gt             List lt String gt  lookAndFeelsRealNames   new ArrayList lt  gt              for  LookAndFeelInfo each   UIManager getInstalledLookAndFeels                  lookAndFeelsDisplay add each getName                 lookAndFeelsRealNames add each getClassName                        String changeLook    String  JOptionPane showInputDialog this   Choose Look and Feel Here     Select Look and Feel   JOptionPane QUESTION MESSAGE  null  lookAndFeelsDisplay toArray    null            if  changeLook    null                for  int i   0  i  lt  lookAndFeelsDisplay size    i                      if  changeLook equals lookAndFeelsDisplay get i                          try                           UIManager setLookAndFeel lookAndFeelsRealNames get i                            break                                            catch  ClassNotFoundException   InstantiationException   IllegalAccessException   UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex                            err println ex                           ex printStackTrace System err

You can try L amp F which i am developing - WebLaF It combines three parts required for successful UI development    Cross-platform re-stylable L amp F for Swing applications Large set of extended Swing components Various utilities and managers   Binaries  https   github com mgarin weblaf releases Source  https   github com mgarin weblaf Licenses  GPLv3 and Commercial  A few examples showing how some of WebLaF components look like    Main reason why i have started with a totally new L amp F is that most of existing L amp F lack flexibility - you cannot re-style them in most cases  you can only change a few colors and turn on off some UI elements in best case  and or there are only inconvenient ways to do that  Its even worse when it comes to custom 3rd party components styling - they doesn t look similar to other components styled by some specific L amp F or even totally different - that makes your application look unprofessional and unpleasant   My goal is to provide a fully customizable L amp F with a pack of additional widely-known and useful components  for example  date chooser  tree table  dockable and document panes and lots of other  and additional helpful managers and utilities  which will reduce the amount of code required to quickly integrate WebLaF into your application and help creating awesome UIs using Swing
