I am interested in how Chrome was able to write such a good looking GUI? What libraries and methods did they use? I am particularly amazed that it acts 100% like a regular GUI - you can drag it by the blue strip and the regular buttons [_, o, x] are made differently. Also tab dragging is so seamless. In fact you can drag a tab outside o...

Problem at hand: How to present two large hierarchies in Web UI for computer-illiterate users that fill some kind of boring application form. Use-case: User selects item "a" from hierarchy "A", then it selects item "b" from the (completely unrelated) hierarchy "B" and fills in a short free-form text to supplement his choice. Both hiera...
I have an index page which shows a paged list of data from a database. When that list is empty, I want to show a "blank slate" view that clearly indicates to the user where they are and what they can do there: "You can add a new item by clicking here" type of thing.
