Interface design is not about specific APIs. Old books about Windows or Mac programming have all sorts of information that has apparently been mostly lost. Two books I remember, perhaps not the best, but definitely with information that transcends specific technical details, are Bruce Tognazzini's Tog on Interface (or Tog on Software Design), and Charles Petzold's Programming Windows 95. The original "Inside Macintosh" series also comes to mind.
