I'm not happy about all the UI stuff - I just ripped off one of the

I know I'm doing something wrong, because if I try to create a

So, any help on making the UI stuff less sucky would be appreciated :)

I must admit I've never gone looking for such people. Most of the people 
who come find me with problems tend to be helpful, so I haven't minded. 
Perhaps the move into end-user mobile stuff will change that though...
