You can add more looks by clicking on the Add button and specifying the look you want to add in the Add LookAndFeel dialog that appears.  To edit a look, select it and click on Edit.

Apply chosen LookAndFeel in main() method

This preference determines whether Designer adds code to set the selected Look and Feel in the main() method. For example:

try {
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.jgoodies.looks.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
} catch (Throwable e) {
}.
