Which is already there, btw, swing.systemlaf:

public static String getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() {
    String systemLAF = AccessController.doPrivileged(
                         new GetPropertyAction("swing.systemlaf"));
    if (systemLAF != null) {
        return systemLAF;
    }
...

So, as a user, one can easily set this property to what's most appropriate.

Cheers,
Mario
