Overall Appearance

The overall appearance of your interface helps the user work with the application. A layout that is consistent and aesthetically pleasing helps a user increase productivity. The following tasks can help you refine the appearance of the interface:

Verify the implementation of any application-wide standards for the interface design.
Verify the use of toolbars and status bars.
Rearrange the controls in a manner that satisfies the object or action flow in which a user performs tasks.
Group related controls together.
Disable controls where appropriate.
Create or update bitmap images to use as backgrounds and on controls.
Verify the choices for fonts, foreground and background colors for windows, dialogs, and controls.
