Hi, my parents asked me what if I could do a simple program for accounting. The thing is, I can not decide which programming language to choose. I know Java quite well but don't like messing with GUI, so I'm leaning towards C#/C++/Delphi because there you can make the gui in no time. The only problem I have I don't know how I would prin...

I have to present a prototype of an web app in the following days to one of my clients, the thing is I'm not so good at CSS and worst of all I'm almost never happy with the results I get. Coding the business logic poses no challenge to me, the UI design however takes more than 80% of my time. I don't need nothing breathtaking, just a cl...

I want to be able to either have a nice slide effect from one page to the next or just a simple fade-In effect. Can't seem to find this anywhere on the internets. Update 1 The accepted answer is good, but I found an even better one here. http:/...

So my questions are: 1) What type of project do I need? 2) What controls actually make up the sidebar. 3) What do I make the main frame so that I can resize it when the sidebar is op...

Something simple that helps browse for files, or open + close. Google has turned up nothing except the web GUI that works within the projects themselves. ...
Hi everyone, I'm writing a program that lets people highlight surfaces by dragging the mouse. (Just like the highlighted rectangles you can do make in most operating systems on the desktop). Trouble is, what color should I use? I don't know of any color in UIDefaults that corresponds to the highlight color. SystemColor.controlHighlight ...

My company develops a rich GUI from a detailed specification document, written as 100+ Use-cases (UC's). These detailed UC's drive the development. They are written as tables with actor and description columns. We (me and others) have mangled real UC prose style to support the interactive nature of our application. We also use the spec...

I am using a GridBagLayout to (currently) display two rows. I am aware this layout is overkill for this task, but am trying to learn how to use it. The problem is that I have added the two panels to the two separate rows and there is a huge gap around the content (see image and code below): Image background; public Table(){ ...
I was checking out for a rich GUI for Git on Linux. Of late I have started using it a lot and find that even though command-line is very useful, I would still want a GUI at my disposal since I am not still very much aware with the advanced features. I came across this question on SO before, but I still have to ask this question again, a...
