Somewhere down the line you might want to look at the Kunstoff Look and Feel for the "Detailed Setup" dialog. It's a lot nicer than Metal or Motif ;) .
I've gotten nice feedback on it from my users @ work and found it stable.

Plus, it's light (~43K) and LGPL.

You can already change the PLAF that SageRecorder uses.

Just set the swing_plaf property in the SageRecorder.properties file to be the full path name of the PLAF class.

The two other ones that come with Windows besides the current one are:
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel

I just tried it with the one you suggest and it looks great. Just put the kuntstoff.jar file in your jre\lib\ext directory and set the swing_plaf property to be
com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.KunststoffLookAndFeel

Cool that this is under GPL. We just might have to include this in our distirbution.

Thanks.

Of course now I just realized that you posted this in the SageTV forum...that doesn't work in SageTV currently. I'll crosspost it over to SageRecorder forum. Whoops. :)
