Customize Swing Look and Feel

Question

It seems like many people like to use swing, I have been looking at it to use in my project, but the issue that I face is that I don't like how it looks. I do like how Photoshop looks though, and was wondering: is it possible to make swing look a little bit like the below image? If you have any tutorials on this please post the links!

Answer 1

Yes if you really want to spend the time to make it look like that then you can use Synth to create our own skin over it.
