    I am using the visio to design the UI, but I think that the effect is boring. Which tools are you using to design the software GUI? :-D

      That depends on what you're trying to design. Visio is used to quickly draw a screen, but it's not meant as a tool to create flashy forms - it's meant to show you where the buttons come, where the textboxes come - not how they are going to look like. There's designers who can argue about the colors, the animations and the gradients. As a programmer, I only need to know what button where. Visio does that, and I agree that it's boring. If you're creating an example to convince your client, then take a look at Photoshop; or XAML :)

        Why not just use the Visual Studio designer? If you're using Windows Forms (I assume this is the case since you posted in this forum), then you'll show exactly what the interface will look like. If you need to send an image to someone or use it in a presentation, just take a screenshot of the interface. Dybs
