Application interface designing

Hi all,
im in a middle of an project and it is going pretty well. But one this
that is always in back of my mind is the interface design. every day i
look at it i tend to change either the position of label or textbox
i have seen many application which have cool user interface.
i want to know is there any good reference through which interface
designing can be studied.
I know that an application should be fully functional but, good
interface will also enhance the userfriendlynes s .
i would be happy if anyone provide with any reference which helps me
regarding this
Thanks for replying me..

The problem is not in changing the location of controls but in creating UI
that will be comfortable for end-user. UI color, size and position is second
part of it - because it could look very nice but will be absolutely unusable.
It's not a easy task, it's a whone scient with name "Interactio n Design"
You need scrutinize the subject of you task and target user to proper design
you screen for interaction.

I recomend to start reading from these 2 books

While product engineers focus on the technology, usability specialists focus on the user...

Hi everyone, We have a need to make a Windows Forms (2.0) client application that will be installed on our clients site. The data that the application uses needs to be centrally available to a potentially large number of other sites, which would seem to leave us with our traditional approach, or having a central database server on a dedicated server someplace.

Hi guys. I am preparing the rewriting of an huge existing application in VB6. This software is a mess of 10 years of patchs and new functionalities added randomly, and didn't have any logical or oriented-object background. This software is used by many differents persons, and there is a LOT of functionalities that exists only for one or two of them. So, I want to use a plugin-based system. That's it for the background.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
