The problem is that Swing does not let a "native" library handle the GUI 
components. Instead it tries to imitate the choosen GUI style. I could 
image that this is not totally successful all the time.
And if the native library is changed to provide a different look-and-feel 
every application will get this new one - except all those Java 
applications which will look different then.
