How does a flat GUI look like in Windows 8? – Adam Arold Nov 27 '13 at 11:17

That's the metro ui or modern ui or what the MS guys are calling it today. You can't write a Metro App with Java. – schlingel Nov 27 '13 at 11:23

Metro (still) isn't accesible from Java/JavaFX, – mKorbel Nov 27 '13 at 11:29

Maybe look at the *Synthetica* commercial library that makes it easy to create skins for Swing. I have no connection to them and have never used their product, but that's all I come up with. – brettw Nov 27 '13 at 13:12

You can PROBABLY use the default look and feel of swing apps, undecorate everything, and for those icons; I would use buttons with internal panels, images, labels, etc. To get the scroll functionality you should use mouse listeners to detect scrolling and slide the ui accordingly.
