I didn't like the GUI either. It started out with buttons but ended up not having any at all. Thinking back on this, going with a GUI was a little much for the application and completely unnecessary. It was a fun learning experience though.
Shortly after I got this working, I ended up scrapping the GUI and going with a little OLED display. Now I am working on changing out the GUI code to code for a SSD1306 display.
I wasn't sure where I was going to put the 3.5" display anyway. I found out that with the OLED display I will be able to modify my USB barcode scanner to hold the pizero and the 0.96" OLED. The whole thing will be contained in the scanner and all it will need is power.
