e.g. The Intel Graphics & Media Control Panel is written in .Net.

Well you can use and customize your UI with Swing. Nowdays there is also JavaFx 2.0.
Also there are a lot of extensions like those from SwingLabs,JGoodies,Jide,Glazed List and the amazing Substance look& feel ,Steel Series etc.
Just google for this terms you get a lot of useful links.

Be aware is not easy and out of the box functionality but you can do anything.

By default, Swing user interfaces use a look and feel called 'Metal'.
You could try making your own look and feel to accomplish something similar.

*"By default, Swing user interfaces use a look and feel called 'Nimbus'."* I don't think this is true... The default one is "Metal" (AFAIK) – Harry Joy Oct 01 '11 at 06:56

The default look and feel is typically referred to as "Java LAF" or "Metal". – Jordonias Oct 01 '11 at 06:59

Alright, I've edited my answer. I thought Nimbus became the new LnF. – dteoh Oct 01 '11 at 07:44
