Found some great posts about customising the new nimbus look and feel on Jasper Potts blog. Looks like nimbus will not only be a great new face for swing and java on the desktop but also a powerful tool for creating custom ui's. Which is exactly why I have been watching Nimbus's progress with interest.
In one of ancient powers older incarnations I messed around with customising swings venerable metal look and feel with very little success. Making small changes like fonts and colours was easy enough but anything beyond that got really tricky. Nimbus's use of painter objects seems like it will make complex changes much simpler.
