Neil, I tried what you said and I'm still having issues. Hopefully something simple perhaps you could please clarify, probably in step 4) below. Here's what I did: 1) I took out the code that I initially showed in Installer. 2) I set the LAF through Branding.Specifically, r-click on NB platform app node, chose Branding... and under Resource Bundles tab set org/netbeans/swing/plaf/Bundle.properties LookAndFeelClassName=com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf and left LookAndFeelCustomsClassName = default. 3) Added to my module as Wrapped JARs: org-netbeans-libs-flatlaf-RELEASE140.jarorg-netbeans-swing-laf-flatlaf-RELEASE140.jar 4) In this same module, in Module Dependencies I added:"Flaflaf""FlatLaf Look and Feel" After clean, build & run, I get: WARNING [org.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader]: Will not load class org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf.ui.FlatToolbarDragger arbitrarily from one of ModuleCL@3341a4db[org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf] and ModuleCL@3af30783[module1.test.com] starting from SystemClassLoader[76 modules]; see http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqModuleCCEINFO [org.netbeans.core.windows.view.ui.toolbars.ToolbarContainer]java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Will not load class org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf.ui.FlatToolbarDragger arbitrarily from one of ModuleCL@3341a4db[org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf] and ModuleCL@3af30783[module1.test.com] starting from SystemClassLoader[76 modules]; see http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqModuleCCE at org.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.doFindClass(ProxyClassLoader.java:191) at org.netbeans.ProxyClassLoader.loadClass(ProxyClassLoader.java:125) at org.netbeans.ModuleManager$SystemClassLoader.loadClass(ModuleManager.java:769) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)[catch] at org.netbeans.core.windows.view.ui.toolbars.ToolbarContainer.createDragger(ToolbarContainer.java:260) at org.netbeans.core.windows.view.ui.toolbars.ToolbarContainer.addNotify(ToolbarContainer.java:147) at java.awt.Container.addNotify(Container.java:2776) at javax.swing.JComponent.addNotify(JComponent.java:4740) at java.awt.Container.addNotify(Container.java:2776) Do I need to add some code to explicitly load a class in Installer?

We changed the IDE default look and feel to FlatLaf, not the platform itself. Do the change the same way the IDE does, ie. by branding it. Changes in the IDE - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3332 Similar in a platform app - https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/branding/modules/org-netbeans-swing-plaf.jar/org/netbeans/swing/plaf/Bundle.properties > I did see in https://search.maven.org/search?q=flatlaf that there exist two > NB-specific flatlaf jars: org-netbeans-libs-flatlaf-RELEASE140.jar and > org-netbeans-swing-laf-flatlaf-RELEASE140.jar (don't what to do with these, > if anything.

And you also need one of *your* modules to depend on org.netbeans.swing.laf.flatlaf to get it loaded. The module with the customs is autoload, which it probably shouldn't be!
