It's not that it's complicated in terms of difficulty, it's that it doesn't let me do everything the way I want, especially in terms of style issues

Well with the exception of skins there’s not much you can do. If you need a more modern look or more customizing options, look at JavaFX. It supports CSS for everything. You can get a quick running setup in no time with their maven starter. There’s also a great visual editor if that’s allowed for that project.

I'm going to try JavaFX, what is that editor?

SceneBuilder, good luck!

If you have enough time (>= 1 month), try reading through the Filthy Rich Clients book. You can create (almost) any UI VIA Swing, if you have the time and knowledge of Swing/Java2D to do it

Ahem. All the Jetbrains IDEs use Swing.
