      in Python
      I have seen very little on the aesthetics of good UIs. You'd be surprised how little this is emphasized, but it should be emphasized. If you search Google for GUI you may find some general ideas. Here is one sarcastic one on what NOT to do:

      In general, I'd say keep things visually simple, clean, avoid crazy colors
      but don't make it all totally "windows gray"...

        in Python
        Guido Van Rossum, who wrote the Python programming language, was a fan of this British comedy troupe called Monty Python's Flying Circus, and so he named his computer language in honor of them. Their humor seems to often appeal to computer enthusiast types. Often in books on how to learn Python, there are examples which use phrases from the Monty Python show as examples. It's done in a spirit of geeky fun....

          Thanks, Barton, I'll have a look at it. Overall it's been hard for me to settle on a good "look and feel" for the GUI I'm trying to make, and yet I believe the right look and intuitive layout is important. Whether a gradient may add a little visual texture to the look I'm not sure, but I'll try to play around with it.

          Thanks again,

            Thanks, Barton!

            I'll look at ButtonPanel too, though I am concerned that it is not quite right for making a large panel with other controls on it. What I was hoping for is to have the general background of the GUI have either a gradient or something like that, and then have all other controls on that colored panel (textboxes, choices, static text, whatever).

            Thanks again, glad to be here,
            Che

                Getting a painted background in wxPython...

                Hello,

                I'm curious if it is easy to get panels on your wxPython apps to have backgrounds which are given by a jpg or other bitmap. I found http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives...d-in-wxpython/ on a blog, which seems to be the way to do it, but I am too new to Python and wxPython to understand how to implement it.

                Can anyone help me understand how to go from this to specifying...
