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.
