This is my first attempt to "design" something. Hope it is not toooo stupid to be commented.
Not really a web site, but a java application. But I can't find a "GUI design" forum on GDF, and maybe to design a GUI or a web is similar?
Indeed I copyed from 3 or 4 sources to create my "design", if I create it from
scratch, it can be unbelivable ugly:o
the excel-like thing is SUN's openoffice, embedded in my application.

thats pretty specialised. I'm not sure how you would go about creating an interface. It might take a while for someone to answer this thread, because its still the weekend in the old US. I'm really not sure about this. Good luck!

wo? But I am not asking how to create a functional GUI:rolleyes: . In coders' world, when we talk about GUI, we talk about menus, buttons, not so much of them are connected with "beauty"
I am asking can I choose a better color? do I need more color? In word, Just try to think it as a web or a static image(Yes I don't know if it is possible).
Yes I know is evening in USA. I am waiting...:rolleyes:

as far as colour, its probably a good idea to use, neutral or calming colours, so that the elements aren't distracting, or tiring to look at.

hmm, I think I understand something. You mean the colors I am using are not neutral? I really know nothing about colors, but I do need to change the default colors, SWING's default theme is rated as ugly by most people.
I am thinking change them to some gray.
Thanks for you help!
