A method of defining, creating, or editing a graphical user interface panel. According to the method, a user opens a graphical user interface source code file. This source code file contains an entry for the user interface panel and for each object, as an icon, an action bar, or the like, within the panel. The object entries include the size and location of the object. The user edits the source code file in a dynamic sizing, What You See Is What You Get environment. A compiler compiles the graphical user interface source code file to form a graphical user interface object code file. The compiler also updates the size and location object entries of each graphical object, dynamically sizing the size and location object entries.
