I have a swing application. Below is a small screenshot.
OS: Win 7
What is irritating is the theme. I have tried several other screens but they all have such appearance. Eclipse and Netbeans for example have a much better UI. The FileChooser and Frame is general is much pleasing. How do I have such a theme.
Thanks.
Change the look and feel to the Windows one before creating anything UI-related in your program:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
Looks like you are using the Metal Look and Feel. Try using some other look and feel that might interest you.
Refer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/plaf.html, for more information.
This will give you everything you want to know

UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()
will give you the most appropriate for the OS it's running on
