• The KDE desktop environment uses the Oxygen theme by default. By default, Java applications don't follow this theme at all. The Joxy Look and Feel is a 'skin' to let Java Swing applications look like the Oxygen theme. Joxy is not an application itself, but a skin for other programs. For installation instructions, please see Joxy's website.
• Synthetica is a Look and Feel for Swing and is based on Synth which is part of the Java Platform version 1.5. Synthetica provides many different looks through Themes for the core components of Swing with rounded borders, shadowed popup menus and nice icons.
• By default Intellij IDEA uses Alloy Look&Feel. It's a commercial L&F and it's already quite old and with no updates. One of the major issues with it is that it doesn't support anti-aliasing on most of the platforms. In order to maintain consistency in different OS (like Mac OS X, Win, Linux), Alloy Look&Feel.

I'll continue to update this post as I find more tweaks to make Java/Swing applications look and feel more like native Mac applications. FWIW, there's more to do to make a Swing application look and feel like a native Mac OS X application. At the very least you need to handle the 'Preferences' and 'Quit' menu items properly through callbacks. For Years, Java Swing has suffered from poor UI colors and designs. Since the support of Java to let people desing their own Themes, it has revamped those old boring UIs. When we talk about designing look and feel, we know it is about implementing different UI classes for different components.
