Nice bit of vb coding there my friend.

If you want my HONEST opinion, I think the minimalistic approach is fantastic, the font just right, but the control icons just a wee-bit too heavy for the rest.

Try having more white-space between the image and the border.

Apart from that, looks cool

Tell you what would set it off great...

I presume you're using VB6, or, VB.Net.

Well, why not add a 2-4 pixel wide alpha transparent drop-shadow?

Will look well cool!!!

It's a bit buggy. Here's what I found:

1. When maximized in 1125*768 the top Titlebar line doesn't stretch across the whole screen. Quite easily fixed, just put in the line of code: "Line1.X2 = Form1.width"

2. When maximized, if you try to move the Form with the Titlebar it gives an error: "A form can't be moved or sized when minimized or maximized." - Again, this could be fixed by just putting a conditional "If Form1.windowstate = 0 Then DoFormMove()"

3. You might want to make a way to resize the Form.

Other then that, it's pretty good.

Yours just uses the windows themes.

His has a different theme, look at the title bar

Er, guys, do you know what GUI means? He's not showing off what's in the window ...

I think it's great. The buttons could be a bit smaller though. Minimalistic = excellent in my book.

A very nice %it, indeed.

Yeah but you can save it as a *.ocx so that you can use it in other projects without re-writing the coding...which is a big help!!!
