In response to the question of design:

- Use the golden ratio whenever possible/practical.

- Be careful with the rounding of the edges. (Sharp corners aren't good, but rounded with unused potential screen real estate and subsequent violation of golden ratio is bad too.)

- Like the author said, the software UI and UE should be tailored to the screen width and input method.
