If you are using 4D "client" for your app, create style sheets and leverage the platform wherever you can. That automatically keep your app 'modern', plus it makes it very easy to support multiple platforms and OSs. A few random thoughts: - I've seen some nice 'hybrid' UIs, which include Web Areas for navigation and 4D objects for data. - Like Mitchell points out, don't get too carried away with color. Limit your palette and make sure the different colors are used consistently. - Decide whether you want to use application menus. Make it extremely obvious to the user when to use menu items and when to use form controls. You may even decide to not use menus at all. - Consider hiring a UX designer for a few months to analyze your app and set up a style guide and screen templates.
