How is something like the interface to itunes created?

D
Was just curious if anyone knew how they created the cool interface ( I'm
just talking about the stainless steel looking one with round butttons).

Looks like it could be .net thing.

thanks

One can not discern by looking at a visual user interface what technology
was used to write it. A visual or Graphic User Interface (GUI) is pure
graphics, just a bunch of pixels. Something inside is telling those pixels
what color to be, but you don't know what it is, Mr. Jones.

Well, like the poster said, you can't know for sure just from guessing.
But most likely they used GDI or GDI plus to create the GUI/Controls,
as it would have been unnecessarily difficult to do it any other way.
