So, I'm developing a java GUI to login through my web service. 

 

It all functions, but I'm working to make it as aesthetically pleasing as I know how to do.

 

So far, I'm here with the project: (See attached).

 

This is all done within JavaFX 8, and some css. I had an idea to have the wallpaper cycle through different wallpapers, either on each run of the program, or after a few seconds of running (similar to Chromecast).

 

Does anybody have any idea on how to start with this? 

 

Thanks for any help.

 

 

Edit: I know the forgot hyperlink doesn't look centered. My laptop (Lenovo y50 4k) can't run an IDE in 4K, because windows doesn't scale it correctly. So I'm running downscaled to 1080p. So it, for some reason, shows the "Forgot?" hyperlink not centered. Rest assured, on a native 1080p monitor, it looks fine.

Fancy.

 

I would probably make 'Register' and 'Login' different sizes/colors, if I were in your position I would make register a different colour, or just a link as in UX, you must put the Login first, this makes the viewer of your app more encouraged to sign up as it subconsciously makes you want to get the 'reward' of having a bigger login button.

 

Also make 'Forgot?' smaller, and under the password field instead of the username field so that the user is not confused as to what they 'Forgot?' because at the bottom is more general.

Thanks for the suggestions. 

I'll actually play around with keeping the registration color green (I love the color I found) and change the login to white or something. 

As for the forgot, the font definitely looks ok on a native 1080p monitor. I tested it on my desktop. It just scales poorly with my 4K monitor (when I set the resolution to 1080p).
