Swing Look and Feel - using NetBeans

Hello, I am pretty new to Java and NetBeans. I have a couple of probably dumb questions...

- I have the default swing look and feel set to Java Metal, but in the NetBeans IDE and after compile, the interfaces do not have the Java Metal look and feel. Are there an additional settings that need to be made?

- Is there a simple way to add a graphic image to the forms I am creating?

Thanks for any help.
