You mean something like this? https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/netbeans-look-and-feel-plugin-...
There's also a FlatLaf plugin, actually very close to IntelliJ in looks.

There's been a lot of cosmetic improvements in NetBeans in the last few releases, including this latest one.
In particular, a while back the default look & feel was switched to FlatLAF ( https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/ ), and before that again we did a lot of work to support HiDPI and Retina screens ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/HiDPI+%... ). In NetBeans 15 we did a series of tweaks to further improve the look of the UI (e.g. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4286 ).
I guess it comes down to personal taste, but the Jetbrains IDEs don't look great either. It's pretty far down my list of priorities and I'm a happy customer regardless, but they're all kinda ugly, very Java fat client-ish.
It's not even the non-native look and feel (what even is a native GUI these days?), VSCode somehow looks better.
IntelliJ looks so much better than NetBeans or Eclipse
