The Apple human interface guidelines are a good source of information: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

If you want something that isn't tied to Apple you can find a list of similar guidelines here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interface_guidelines#Exa...

Personally I find that KDE, gnome and xfce have great UI, you can find their guidelines in the list above.

Regarding implementation I'm a big fan of Qt, there's an excellent python binding as well (PyQt), which makes it easy to get started especially if you already have your logic implementing in Python.

Thanks much for your kind reply. The first link has a lot of guiding philosophy despite it being attached to Apple, I will try incorporating this. I am a FW developer and when I developed this GUI and put it in few users' hands, I realized how counterintuitive something can be in terms of usability.
