Be sure that you are explicitly creating your GUI on the event dispatch thread. I've run into this very problem with some Look and Feels when I did not do this. You do this by queuing up your start up code on the EDT via

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    // start your GUI here
  }
});

i.e.,

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    try {
        LookAndFeel look = new SubstanceDefaultLookAndFeel();
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(look);
        SubstanceDefaultLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(new SubstanceBottleGreenTheme());
        SubstanceDefaultLookAndFeel.setCurrentWatermark(new SubstanceNoneWatermark());
        SubstanceDefaultLookAndFeel.setCurrentGradientPainter(
           new SimplisticSoftBorderReverseGradientPainter());
        new Login().setVisible(true);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Edit, mKorbel is right -- the look and feel change should be on the EDT. Code changed to reflect this. Sorry for the mis-information.
