For this type of UI development/design work you might want to take a look
at Crank Software's Storyboard Suite:
 http://www.cranksoftware.com/storyboard

It is an application UI development environment based on using graphic
content rather than widgets and uses Lua for all of the glue and system
logic.  Easy to prototype, easier to deploy and cross platform too!
