Put the jar of the L&F into IDEA/lib and IDEA/jre/lib/ext and create a file swing.properties in IDEA/jre/lib/ swing.installedlafs = motif,windows,metal,squareness swing.installedlaf.motif.name = CDE/Motif swing.installedlaf.motif.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.windows.name = Windows swing.installedlaf.windows.class = com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.metal.name = Metal swing.installedlaf.metal.class = javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel swing.installedlaf.squareness.name = Squareness swing.installedlaf.squareness.class = net.beeger.squareness.SquarenessLookAndFee
For each look and feel you have to add a pair swing.installedlaf..name and swing.installedlaf..class and don't forget to add ]]> to the list swing.installedlafs. The above swing.properties defines the standard L&F's on Windows and the additional Squareness Look And Feel.
Now you should be able to change the look and feel to your newly installed one in the Appearance settings.
Cheers, Robert
BTW: Don't know how to get Metal Ocean or what it's called into this list. I don't like it's look.
