You need to use XUL. It's not that hard. It uses JavaScript for dynamic 
elements and the interface is written in a cross between HTML and XML. Also 
you can use HTML elements for the interface.

Check Out: http://xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/

It is a very well written tutorial on how to start making interfaces in 
XUL. Also http://www.hevanet.com/acorbin/xul/top.xul which gives you a 
basic periodic table of XUL elements and the corresponding source code.
