    designing a good user interface

    I am writing a project planner/tracker program and it's my first attempt to write a program on my own. It's almost done but my forms aren't really cool. I'm not any experienced so I can't be mega creative. Do you know any sites/tutorials that might help me develop my design, colors icons and stuff. Thanks!

    Try looking into something called WPF, it may help you be creative without knowing a while lot about coding.

    Unfortunately I don't know any sites that provide those things you're requesting though, perhaps someone else will?

      Just for the record, "cool" and "creative" should always be second to "functional ." I would suggest searching for "user interface design" or "user experience design", and maybe even getting a book on the subject.

      They teach whole college courses about this.

        If you've started your project and coded for it a quite bit on it..
        Then i recommend don't switch the technology...
        If you're developing a Windows Forms Application then use GDI+ for user interface
