Awh shucks.... Ok the best advice i can give you is planing ahead and getting a color and font scheme that works. Make sure your scheme is identical throughout your application though, this is important. Your aplication should always be functional first and fancy second. I found that if you allow people who wouldnt be computer genuises play around with your application you will be suprised as to what they find easy to use and what you find easy to use. I intent to write a short article on designing applications as soon as i get a bit of spare time.

Design is also an iteritive process as this topic shows. (even i had to start somewhere!) http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=518314

"System Design" the way I see it is designing hardware systems but from some replies it seems they are thinking software GUIs?

"System Design" the way I see it is designing hardware systems but from some replies it seems they are thinking software GUIs?In our world, you are completely correct. When I see "system design" I also think of hardware.

It seems, however, that "GUI design" and "system design" have become interchangeable.

I have always heard it as GUI or interface design.

There is very little difference between hardware and software design these days. It is a system and it has to be designed.

Back to the question. Although the colour scheme is important I like saying harsh things to website designers who persist with dark backgrounds. I don't actually get to say anything to them of course because I and a good ten percent of the worlds population cannot find anything to click except the kill button on the browser.

I'd say a good twenty to thirty percent.

I provide a light and a dark style. :D

You can give your app customizations too by the user so they can personalize it to their taste.

Absolutely agree, but I imagined from the wording of the 1st post the OP meant a UI design instead...

As did I.

Sorry but designing hardware and designing software are not really similar in any way lol how is designing a hard drive anything like designing the user interface for your latest program? Not trying to start an argument or anything lol it just seemed like a really odd thing to say
