I know that this is picky but the old Apple Human Interface Guidelines specify things like how much distance you put between different elements! Try it out. Go for the 1992 edition of the HIG, for this System 7 look.<p>Like, when you have a dialog box, you have a certain number of pixels on the left, right, top, and bottom. The buttons are a certain number of pixels apart. If you look at old software from the very early days of the Mac, you’ll see that it’s kind of the wild west of user interfaces—either the HIG wasn’t out yet, or people weren’t reading it.<p>The HIG also has a bunch of good practices for thins like how to name buttons and menu items. Buttons should ideally be single words, and should be verbs. Menu items get a “…” ellipsis if there’s a dialog box that appears before you perform the action. The book shows how common interfaces look in non-English languages, like Arabic, Hebrew, and Japanese.
