Hi,
after investigating current JS UI I think that part which lacks the most 
of some improvements is the
one showing currently running tests. So most of my proposals will 
concecrate on this view.
Here is the list of all of my suggestions:
1. I think that what could make present UI more attractive to user are 
live results.
    I mean that during download and upload tests it would be good to 
show some kind of gauge
    presenting speed at current moment.
    So during speed tests we could add some kind of speedometer gauge 
at the center (with the
    current results shown within it). During test its indicator will 
dynamically point at current speed.
2. Move addresses of server and client to the top left and top right 
part of page accordingly (also
    with little smaller font size for labels).
3. "Preparing your tests" text could dissapear right after this stage is 
completed. Also this information
    (and text indicating which test is currently running) would be 
placed right below gauge. What about
    making this text blinking also?
4. After first speed test result would be saved and shown on the 
bottom-left part of page. Accordingly
    after second one proper text will be shown on botom-right (and 
after a while whole page will dissapear
    to show summary one).
5. To make UI nicer we could add some kind of animations on left and 
right sides of page that will
    be graphical representation of currently running speed test. I mean 
that i.e. during download test
    there will be small arrows moving from top to the bottom part of 
site (or maybe showing one by
    one and after some amount of them will be reached then animation 
will start from beginning).
6. On summary page we could add some small nice looking text field which 
will show web100/web10g
    variables (it will be auto-scrolling and when user clicks on this 
then he/she will be redirected to
    advanced page). Or maybe instead of text field add some small board 
on which these values will
    display and dissapear within set time one by one (or better more at 
the same time). Maybe good
    place for this element would be between "Download speed" result and 
"Test again" button
    (probably both results rectangles need to be made a bit smaller in 
height to achieve it).
7. Variable's values on advanced page could be displayed in table to 
make them more legible.

What do you think about such changes? Also I'm receptive to your ideas 
about what could be
done to make current JS UI look nicer.
