Creating a GUI for the artificial intelligence is an important part of the design process. the look and feel of the app can also give you the feeling and look of a professional application.
Apples IOS UI Ideals
Deference. The UI helps people understand and interact with the content, but never competes with it.
Clarity. Text is legible at every size, icons are precise and lucid, adornments are subtle and appropriate, and a sharpened focus on functionality motivates the design.
Depth. Visual layers and realistic motion impart vitality and heighten people’s delight and understanding.
Creating the GUI
When creating the gui i have used a transparent gif file for my skin file.
the transparent for is achieved by new features in the form property s, although this can also leave problems with form movement also.
Additional code has been added to allow for mouse movement of the form.

Try
' Form movement set integers
x = Control.MousePosition.X - Me.Location.X
y = Control.MousePosition.Y - Me.Location.Y
Catch ex As Exception

Try
' Form movement movement
If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
newpoint = Control.MousePosition
newpoint.X -= (x)
newpoint.Y -= (y)
Me.Location = newpoint
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
