It would be really cool if LateralGM supported Metal Look&Feel themes.
(If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(MetalTheme theme))

Though low on the priority list, we may have a theme selector at some point as part of the options. Metal could be given special treatment there, although all metal themes look equally ugly to me.
I like the Charcoal one that comes with SwingSet2.
I've disabled the forced L&F, so you can now specify your desired L&F through the JVM.
