Getting a dark look and feel?

Question

I am bored of the standard look and feel of Swing and need some dark and black themes which are supposed to look cool. None of DefaultMetal,Ocean,Motif or Windows which come as a part of the swing satisfy my needs. Is using nifty-gui a good idea since I need to have tabbed panes and things like that? If not are there any other options for me?

Answer 1

Take a look at JTatoo look and feel set, it is open source and could satisfy your needs.

Look at this NoireLookAndFeel:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(NoireLookAndFeel.class.getName());
