Re: Application Design
I suppose you have used Swing (since you have posted in AWT / Java Swing). User interfaces in Swing are rather "traditional" and not so very "cool". Are you searching for special graphical effects like shadows, animations, fadings and so on? At a certain degree these are possible in Swing but at a cost of more sophisticated code (that require a deeper knowledge on advanced concepts in Java 2D). And there's a book about this: Filthy Rich Clients.Originally Posted by keepStriving
But please, describe your current applications and where/in what you would like to improve.
