For our Master course in Human Interface Technology I compiled a list of graphical user interface (GUI) guidelines. What I found most interesting is that the traditional desktop interfaces have seem to experienced a decreasing amount of interest recently. The Java Look and Feel Design Guidlines have not been updated since 2001. On the other hand, the interest in GUIs for web and mobile interface is very strong at this point in time.
