I can't help you there.  There are alternatives for Ruby GUI apps, but I 
cannot vouch for their aesthetics.

Swing apps can be skinned.  There is much choice.  The NetBeans built-in 
GUI editor is quite slick.

You're going to have to decide what trade-offs to make; ease of 
development (Monkeybars wins) ease of maintenance (Monkeybars wins), 
solid cross-platform support (JRuby (AKA Java) + Swing wins), specific 
look-and-feel ... well, that's more a matter of taste.
