Hi, We already made this kind of thing.
Inside inkscape editor, we create different inkscape layers . eg one for hoover , one for pressed or unpressed view of widgets . one for describing controls positions through the way of rectangles and dedicated xml tags Then, a program processes the svg and extracts the components for the desired final language : creates png images for each widget described in the svg file (eg one image for button_hoover, one image for button_pressed...). This allows to design a generic rich gui interface for "any" graphic language (it may be java, xhtml, ....). Thanks to object programming, you will only have to rewrite a new wrapper for the desired final language.
