We have to hold ForeUI project for a week, and now it is resumed.
Actually in the last ten days, we were assigned to work for the update 5 of designer and EaSynth L&F v1.05. That is a big update, and I am pleased to see EaSynth L&F support the shadow effect in combo box now, so ForeUI can have a more consilient UI style.
We refactor the source code, a lot, in order to achieve a better user experience. In details, We improved the element selecting, moving and resizing behavior, which are the most frequently used features, and will significantly affact the UX.
There is no new feature implemented in the last two days, but we think the drag and drop framework is more important than that. We set the best user experience as our goal.
Now we finished the commands for text formatting, and improved the float tool bar for selected elements.
The flot tool bar can now be moved out of the plot area (but still within the doc page).
We decide to let the application support multiple plot editng, it will be a big update.
Now ForeUI has a home on twitter, hope to make more friends there.

In the pass two weeks, we worked hard on ForeUI project. We wish that we could make an alpha version at the end of February, so that we could invite my friends to review it.
So far the progress is good, the application can support 3 kinds of basic elements now: Button, Text and Image. The editing area can support multiple selection, drag-and-drop to move or resize the selection, snap the movement and resizing to grids… We want to make it user-friendly, and we hope our advisors will also think so:-)
Here is the first screenshot of ForeUI:
