Free42, the Free Software re-implementation of the classic HP 42s RPN calculator, supports using custom skins, a bit like WinAmp skins but more complex - instead of just a bunch of bitmaps, you get to define the size and location of each button and graphical element.
I have discovered that it its parsing of the layout file is not very strict, so I can wrap some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript around it and get a polyglot file that I can load into Free42 to test, and also load into a browser to visualise the coordinates as I edit them.
(the attached screenshot depicts a skin for Free42's slightly more capable cousin Plus42, but the skin files are interchangeable)
