A better gui design using java

I am planning to develop an java application,so i am in search of some library's that can give a pleasant look and feel and easy to customize.I tried swing but the look and feel is not much i expected and creating a look and feel is not so easy i think (i am not sure). i am from web development. In my previous question Java GUI development alternative to swt or swing most guys recommend javafx and i am working on an 64 bit linux machine and javafx is not available for that. I need some advice ,

Better to create own look and feel library else suggest some good library for look and feel

Note:i tried nimbus look and feel.

I can just give some suggestions that I am using in conjunction with Swing:

  • JRibbon/Flamingo (Office 2007 like ribbons)
  • Substance Look and Feel (works very well with JRibbon/Flamingo and is quite configurable, with a lot of predefined skins)
  • SwingX (additional/extended Swing components)

Note that for Substance there's a fork called Insubstantial which contains also a Flamingo fork named Peacock.
