I am right now working on a job of retouching the user interface of a software which is coded in Java. The interface is now built using Swing. I am looking for a library of Java Swing components, which should look better than the original JComponents.
I have already found SlickerBox; the components there look much better than the originals. However, I don't like the color of the components in SlickerBox, and I can't find the way to customize the color. I am looking for a better library.
I would appreciate your answer!

Swing is a newer way of making a GUI. All objects in Swing are derived from AWT, and most objects in Swing start with the letter J. Hint: Oracle has developed JavaFX to replace both Swing and AWT. Since Java SE 7, update 6 it is bundled with Java SE.
In Java Swing, there are a number of components like a scroll bar, button, text field, text area, checkbox, radio button, etc. All these components together, form a GUI that offers a rich set of functionalities and also allows high-level customization.
Swing is a Java Foundation Classes [JFC] library and an extension of the Abstract Window Toolkit [AWT]. Swing offers much-improved functionality over AWT, new components, expanded components features, excellent event handling with drag and drop support.
