I would like to use a diffrent font, specifically one that supports unicode( I want to display Chinese characters). In Synthetica I can set a font, but nimbus does not provide this feature: SyntheticaLookAndFeel.setFont("Arial Unicode MS", 14); Cheers, Manuel Look and feel looks great.

Just as long as I can use a native filechooser with it. Perhaps Nibus should be the default L&F for JDK 7. Just as long as I can use a native filechooser with it.

I simply don't think such a look and feel would work well with most applications. That said, Aerith's code and resources are open so feel free to reuse them to create such a LaF. I could even open source the Photoshop files I used to come up with the look. CommanderKeith: Substance can be seen as bloated too. There are many (cool) features that are not that useful. Besides, it still needs, in my opinion, a lot of work to look really good (most themes are really awful, only the last few ones are getting better.)

Currently, I'm using JTatoo L&F instead. (with custom colored button). I also want the Aerith L&F for our application.

I think the real solution to the Java default L&F conundrum is to bundle kirill's Substance L&F with the JRE. It is by far the most advanced and flexible L&F. Just my 2cents. Hi,
