How do you make your xaml ui look good without being a designer?

Hi all,
I am realy stuggeling to make ui's for my softwares to give my users a nice visual experience.
I started to learn c# and winforms some years ago and i have huge problems to make the switch to xaml.
Now i pretty much use the pre made templates in visual studio such as the Hub App and i do small modifications.
How do you non designers handle your ui without hiring a designer?
Are there any place where you can buy cheap pre made ui templates i can use as a starting point?
I also followed the course design your ux in blend but i can't say i got the hang of it with just one course.
Are there more courses or tutorials anyone can recomend me about making ui's in blend?
Are there any other easier tools to make nice looking xaml ui beside blend? Maybe something not as advanced as blend and more visual drag and drop?
Any tips,tutorials,courses,websites or any other thing that you used when learning to make a nice xaml ui are more than welcome.

How do you make your data into a chart?

Dick,
Your table should look like this:
You're looking at 1 Header Row and 1 Header Column. Headers are shaded by default. Adding a shading to a regular column doesn't make it a header. Use the Table Inspector.
When you Select the data and Insert a Table, you will get this:
Got it?

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom? Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

How do you make a stand-alone app work without seeing a command window...

I'm new to Java so please forgive the very basic question I'm asking. All the apps I've learned how to make so far cause a command window to appear along with the GUI. How do you keep the command window from showing up?

java ExampleApp
I just discovered using the search for this site. I should know better than to make a post without first using the forum's search. It's just that I had been searching the java tutorials already to no avail as well as using a search engine.
According to the forum here, people have said that you need to create a .jar file. I'll need to look into the specifics. Sounds a bit confusing at first. There was also mention of starting the app like so:

I'll go try that now! Any other suggestions you may have will be appreciated!

How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
Here is a "green screen" example.

How Do you Make your Own Font so you Can Use It in Preview

Hi. I'm filling up a form that needs my signature. I can't annotate my signature (because it doesn't annotate graphics) in a PDF using Preview. I plan to just create a font of my signature so I can annotate my signature as text ( I just key in letter A and my whole signature would be that key). Thanks in advance.

How do you make the background all one color without disturbing the subjects?

I shot a wedding this past weekend. Where the bridal party walked in there was an acrhway with christmas lights as the only lights. It made the background all splotchy. I have tried the paintbrush tool, but only preset choices, such a textures and such. Won't help. I need to work around people and make the background all one color. I've tried using a vignette, but it made it too dark, and when you lighten the exposure you see all the splotches. Does anyone have any advice. I am in a jam, I want the colors to be uniform for all the bridal party....and not look like someone threw paint on the wall. HELP PLEASE!
I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.

You'll need to post an example so we can figure out the best way.

HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

When recording how do you make an acoustic guitar sound good??

With the microphone on my mac, im recording my guitar and i mostly hear the strumming and no sound is there an editing thing i can use to get rid of ugliness??

Oh, in terms of creating music, it's actually pretty bad, even for voice.
The built in mic is good for "text only", like chats, dictaphone like usage, quick&dirty recordings... But if you want to record music (not just noise), a decent microphone is the first thing you'll need. You'll also need an audio interface with a XLR input (preferabely with phantom power in case you got a condenser mic).
Recommendations for beginners: Shure SM-57 or -58 (good-for-all dynamic mic, but needs good preamps). Or AKG C1000S as a universal condenser mic.
Now the choice depends on which kind of music you like to record. For acoustic guitar, i said it should be a condenser. It's more crisp and clear as most of the dynamic microphones. I like the AKG C1000S because it is not as small and fragile as many of these intrument mics. You can use it for vocals, change the cardioid characteristics, record ambient sound and speeches, whatever.
The Shure SM-57/58 is the main workhorse in many environments. Whenever there's no better mic, no special mic for this or that, the engineer will look over his shoulder and tell ol' John Doe to "Gimmea57". Or 58 for vocals, because it has an integrated pop filter. You'll see many vocalists using the '58.

How do you make a loop out a sample without it having any stops?

I took a part of a song to make it into a sample. I looped it to make it longer for a song. However, there are awkward stops in the song now. How do I take this out? I already tried trimming the stops out but it just seems that it doesn't work.
