How to make professional looking User Interface for your next Windows Mobile app with ease
Battle of the UI
We cant blame the devs for this , if you look @ .NET Compact Framework and its Windows Forms library they are not the best candidate to quickly roll-out a new app a a great looking UI. I am not a developer but take a look @ look at the hello world application on windows mobile and the ones on iphone and the pre.
which one do you think looks better ? But not all hope is lost for Windows Mobile. I recently came across a great post by Frank Prengel, there he looks at some of the 3rd party controls & libraries that will help Windows Mobile developers to make exciting new app with great looking UI. There are a wide variety of these you can chose from , lets look @ some of them
1) Fluid – Windows Mobile 6.x Touch Controls
These bring the much needed finger friendly interface to Window Mobile and it wont cost you a dime, as its an open source project

4) Resco MobileForms Toolkit
Resco has a wide variety of Windows Mobile apps and they have developed their own UI that other developers can use, check out the pricing info from their homepage. You can also check out their Flash Presentation

Be sure to check out Frank Prengel’s Post to see more UI options. As an end user which UI would you rather use ? Personally I see the open source Fluid concept to a a great success, if the devs @ xda-developers backs it up on the freeware apps.
