[java] Custom Look and Feel resources

There's this article that might be helpful... but only to start.

Already found that one. :)

I'd be especially interested in a book that has some good detail about the topic. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of stuff on the internet about it. Although maybe I should just learn how to use that Synth LAF thing and customize that?

This site is my favorite one when I need a good look and feel. You might already know it, but I'm throwing the link here, anyway ;)

You can use skin-based look and feels, yes - for that I would recommend Skin Look And Feel, because there are tons of available skins, which gives me the impression that it's not something that hard to work with. And you might be able to find a good one to use.

Cool, I didn't know there was another alternative like that. I'll look at it all, thanks.

Sun has a bunch of articles at The Swing Connection.
