howdy y'all
i've got a project to design layouts-only for a new piece of medical software to run on windows xp, and software is a new one for me!
anyone got any good web resources on software/app interface design? i've had a look at the winXP design guidelines, but can't find much else to inspire...

that's a very general question. so your audience is the medical community?
keep it simple

hi jazx
yeah, spose i was a bit vague there!
the product is intended to be used by just about anyone, even a receptionist. its a step-by-step testing procedure type o'thing, and a refinement of an existing + very ugly/technical version.
i'm a little puzzled by the xp guidelines - it seems to imply that for best results i should design my interface to resemble standard XP as much as poss. but is this just Bill wanting to spread the XP brand all over..?
thanks anyway!

There is a good article on java.sun.com (I think it is still there). A little old school but it will give you some solid tips.
