There’s been quite a lot happening in the Swing look and feel space recently. While Synthetica continues to improve, we’ve seen the A03 new look and feel pop up, new themes for Substance and I discovered JTattoo.
If you know other new look and feels, or know about other cool new features in existing look and feel, drop a comment!
I know that one of the developers from Incors said a few months ago that they’re working on the new Alloy version… And you have connections in Xerto - didn’t they create their own LAF?
Most of the Java Swing Developers still in the wrong way ,, don’t they understood yet the look and FEEL concept ,, i admit that we have a lot of awesome looks out there but we need to focus on the [FEEL] i mean by that better right to left support , re sizable tool bars and menu bars and better layout managers and more and off course the performance ………

Whaow, JTatoo looks like those sexy Yahoo! Widgets. Nice!
JTattoo looks nice, and the Hifi variant reminds me of a certain Aerith ;-)
Kirill’s comment about the alloy look and feel is encouraging too…

I somehow agree with Java Developer: all those LAFs seem to me like a waste of time… we need easy-to-use filthy rich components to give our users a whole new experience! On the upside, I have to say I quite like synthetica, compared with the others you mention… :)
I agree partly with Java Developer and GB. A feel concept isnt that easy to accomplish for a multiplatform gui api, but sun should try it anyways instead of putting unneccessary stuff in the jdk.
IMHO even on windows its still looking and feeling like swing, not a windows app. The Raven Graphite of substance did a great job to hide that, far the best i’ve seen so far.
