JFrame theme and appearance

I have a swing application. Below is a small screenshot. enter image description here

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.

This will give you everything you want to know

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

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.

Change the look and feel to the Windows one before creating anything UI-related in your program:

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
