Well, this is a mostly a learning exercise. GUI's seem frustratingly complex. One contributing factor is that most modern toolkits effectively use a low level implementation language to embed a higher level UI language. There are various additional high level tools to simplify this process, but my eyes tend to glaze over at the amount of glue needed to make UI programming palatable to novices like me. When I wanted to learn about programming, I implemented programming languages, so I am trying my hand at a toy version of the most direct, interactive and intuitive GUI I've found: Morphic. I need just enough graphics programming to associate images with Morphs, and composite them onto their parents, a process that finally bottoms out on the WorldMorph.
