about the gui question.
u can use many IDE for gui:
some around are JBuilder, and Visual Cafe.
but if u want a free one, then forte that comes with the j2se is a good one also.

netbeans can build GUI's.

HI,
The easiest way to change a component's features is to alter the UIDefaults contents like this

 
// call this method first in the main()
private static void setCustomLookAndFeel( ) {
        
    UIDefaults uid = UIManager.getDefaults();    
    uid.put( "ScrollBar.width" , new Integer( 10 ) );
}
    

The problem with this is that you have to do all the components one by one and it can get difficult to maintain.
Another way is to create a LookAndFeel that extends MetalLookAndFeel and make the adjustments inside that class. Then you can change primary colors, component borders etc for the whole application with a few lines of code.
Hope that helps,
