I'd recommend two things. The first is Brad Myers' Software Structures for User Interfaces course at Carnegie Mellon University, which focuses on the guts of how graphical user interfaces work. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/uicourse/05631fall2021/ https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bam/uicourse/05631fall2021/ The second is Dan Olsen's book Developing User Interfaces, which has all of the details of how GUIs work, from graphics to interactor trees to events to dispatching. For some reason, it's absurdly expensive on Amazon right now. Both Dan Olsen and Brad Myers were early pioneers in GUIs and GUI tools, so you'd be learning from the masters.

    Clearly amazon bots used some AI to predict they’d make that comment months in advance, and jacked up the price (:

Looks like there is a more recent book by Dan Olsen, "Building Interactive Systems: Principles for Human-computer Interaction", which seems to be available at a reasonable price and similar in scope, maybe that's an option as well.
