Our Windows application has many carefully designed screens to optimize usability and screen estate usage. Our users are now very much used to the way the application looks and behaves. Because web apps seem to be the future I have tried the Universal GUI several times these past few years. Of course most development went into functionality which is understandable. But when will the interface itself get more options? It doesn’t have to look exactly the same as the Windows application but it would be nice if all our designed screens could at least be ported to some kind of Windows theme.

It’s great to have a web app that’s able to adapt to smaller screens but for office use Universal still appears rather basic. Perhaps style sheet examples could be provided to tweak the Universal look and behavior towards a Windows look?

You can use custom CSS to get a different look and feel:

Also there are some quality of life improvements scheduled for upcoming releases that will further improve the GUI. Could you share some screenshots of what challenges you are facing with the current layout? Perhaps we can give you some hints or tips on how to improve on this.
