I think it is hard becuase gaining doing UI needs lot experience and I think you can read all about HCI and UI development in school, but its the industry where you get your hands dirty.

But hats off to all the UI guys who have made things "easy"(I know, its a relative term) to use.

What's interesting is that it's such a crucial part of software design when you consider the big picture and yet, very few schools have classes, let alone programs, that specialize in UI design processes, techniques, and theory.

It takes a lot of creative thinking to even come up with some "trivial" usability enhancements.

Thinking about wireless icons: I don't know what happened, but the Control Panel icons for Windows Firewall and Wireless Network Setup Wizard don't look right at 32x32 or 16x16. If you select Icons, List or Details, the icons just look like scaled-down versions of the 48x48 icon.

Looking in xpsp2res.dll, I can see that the icons are there, but for whatever reason, they're not being loaded correctly.
