You don't need graphic wizards to design a square. ;)
True enough :) but I think it takes a reasonable ammount of talent to make really intuative and compact UIs (screen realestate is an issue) even if if doesnt have a photorealistic interface. Theres a loopbased performace instrument that I think is a really good example (I cant remeber its name), it only uses geometric 2-tone widgets, but its got an easy to use interface and is well disigned. Personally, I dont have design skills anywhere near that good, and I havent seen anything as good from other LAD developers. - Steve
