The best reference I know on the topic is About Face 2.0 The Essentials of Interaction Design by Alan Cooper & Robert Reimann. It's not just an interesting read, it's vital. I think every developer out there should read it.

The book touches on the basic tennents of what good software should do, and describes some interesting new UI designs for old concepts

For example:
Calendar controls that break away from the physical constraints of real-world paper calendars, and display the days/weeks of the year in a more natural flowing format.

Unique controls that aim at solving just ONE problem very, very effectively. We usually use Comboboxes, Edits, and Pushbuttons to solve EVERYTHING. Imagine a custom control for indicating hotel vacancies, that started with a map of each floor and displayed numbers & icons in each room to indicate its occupancy state. Sometimes its better to get low-level and come up with something completely new, and then maybe add it to your repetoire of controls.

I'm looking for a forum where I can ask "how can I do THIS?" and people respond "Well I once tried this". Maybe a FAQ or compendium of these solutions, refined and retried over time.
