Funny, Java, using the default UI widgets, always looks a lot closer to this on my system:

The screenshots are of the default widgets. The only question is which is the selected look-and-feel (for the "old" Swing toolkit), or the style sheet (in the new JavaFX).


No need to go further, just look at jconsole bundled with latest Java. It looks like crap to me.


jconsole is a very old, discontinued program, but it looks alright to me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ji9hahszxttpetx/jconsole.png?dl=0

The newer bundled jvisualvm also looks fine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/549exowkau3ry3t/jvisualvm.png?dl=0


Yes


Yes. Both look ugly and not even close to native.


On my Mac they look as close to native as any other app, which is to say that applications no longer have a uniform look anymore anyway. Chrome, Firefox, Twitter, my email client and all of my editors look no more "native" than modern Java apps like NetBeans or IntelliJ.
