There are a few GUI editors for BlitzMax hovering around these very forums.
Use your eyes and support the community!

:)
Regarding GUI design, I generally just do it with code.
Many GUI editors lack tools to quickly and easily create a gadget that is aligned, properly, with another gadget with a uniform gap between each and every gadget to keep things looking nice.
I just don't bother with them :)
And remember!
The fewer buttons the better.
My opinion is that (in the case of almost every application out there) if a window needs loads of tiny hard-coded buttons, it isn't done right.
Too many gadgets in the same place can scare away the user, especially when the help files for the more obscure and seemingly unlabeled buttons scream "don't try to use this!" (*cough*Terragen*cough*).
Instead, try arranging stuff into seperate windows with bigger buttons and single purposes, and, if there is anything where (for example) variables are being assigned to things, try doing a lisbox with textboxes at the bottom as opposed to hundreds of textboxes.
I'm doing this with APE and it works wonders for code and workflow.
Anyway... what am I on about?!
