Your gui windows look as good as the amount of effort you put into them. Most people stop working once they get good functionality, but add a bit more time and you can have beauty as well.

You can always make gui's with a nice graphics background if you use the Tk canvas, and just look at the Tk::Zinc demo for great looking graphics, with transparency and bezier (curved lines). If you want automatic rounded entry boxes, etc., you can go with Gtk2 and it's styles. Tk is supposed to get styles soon.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
