Summary:Current implementation of Swing library - standard graphical user interface of Java - enables only limited means of modification of visual components. In this paper, I'm looking for a mechanism how to enrich these means using pluggable Look and Feel. In addition I analyze various programs which allow to completely change their look using very comfortable technique called skinning.

At the end I describe newly created NetBeans Module which enables to edit the new Look and Feel theme.
