Who can recommend some UI tools?
-
Paper, pencil and thought. This is not being flippant, no mater how good the code tool is, you must design properly first.

A large whiteboard is my favourite.
My postings are a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance their individual character and beauty and are in no way to be considered flaws or defects.

I have to agree with this. I do most of my web design in raw HTML and CSS (why send 10k of code for 500 bytes of layout?), and a pencil, eraser and a few sheets of graph paper are all the UI tools I need. For app programming, I've found the Visual Studio IDE to be perfectly adequate.

I couldn't agree more. Nor, frankly, do I think most programmers have the temperament, skills, or training needed to design a UI.

Have another 5, I need to send this to my project lead.... Functionality, layout even, not a problem, eye candy, get a DESIGNER. I am a great proponent of battleshit grey.

You must not have spent time in the Navy, of ANY country.

In the Navy, and most other arms of the military, if there is a simple substitution that can change something into a curse, it invariably happens. If you live around that gray for a while, you either come to love it or hate it, or both

No, my father was. He passed a disparaging comment in the early 90s when he saw the results of my UI design and it stuck with me ever since.
