smooth can we see a preview of the gui wallet

The first wallet is going to be based on integration of the crypotnote reference GUI, as indicated on the roadmap

2.1. Cryptonote GUI wallet integration

so it looks just like good old Bitcoin-Qt (which cryptonote forked to develop it). I'm not going to say it is sexy, but it gets the job done. Of course, in all cases, proper attribution will be retained, and no false claims will be made about the original source of the code being from anything other than Cryptonote and Bitcoin (who would do something like that?!).

Later we can consider other prettier wallets (Monero has one that includes just dhe UI code and requires integration, for example) and especially mobile wallet, but that's down the road. ideally these will be tasks taken on by new team members as the project grows because, again from the roadmap:

Although my interests are primarily in the area of blockchain technology and experimental improvements to the cryptonote protocol, I invite others to join the project and work on other items such as a GUI wallet (though we can likely adapt existing GUI wallets from other cyptonote coins), mobile wallets, marketing, etc.

(integrating the cryptonote GUI wallet was later added as a core task following evaluation of the code)

You can see some pictures of cryptonote reference wallet running here:
