We are about to do the second major release of our GUI. The first cut did
it, now we want to Do It Right -- icons, menu structure, widgets, colours,
sound, fonts, animation, screen layout. . .
Is this the right book to read? What else should I look at? Note that I
don't need to master the entire field of interface design (well, I
probably do, but I don't have time) -- I just want to understand the
basic principles.
Thank you.
