In this forum it's OK just to necro existing suggestions threads and add your own ideas. UI improvements have been suggested many times over the past 10 years so just search for one of them. There's no need for a new thread as Toady reads all of the threads and keeps his own notes on what people want.

In the intro for the mythgen update he demonstrated a kind of cascading hypertext type interface to make the text dumps more manageable for example.

Also, just saying "make the job lists easier to read" isn't really a Suggestion. How would you like it to be?

Just saying "make thing better" doesn't add any new ideas. Toady wants to make all the things better, but some things are higher priority than others. Building the underlying game systems takes precedence over appearance, so any "cosmetic" changes are going to be way down on the list, below all the cool stuff like the player being able to lead armies in both Fortress and Adventure mode, and probably a more seamless intergration of actions between the two modes. There's just so much cool stuff to do before worrying about cosmetic displays readibility.
