While we're on the subject of VB let me ask a question. I'm curious:Have you looked into Mono? I heard something about version 1.18 being in the portage tree, now...?
Is there a clone of VB6 for Gentoo? I know about Gambas, but Gambas
doesn't have a lot of the features I've grown used to in VB over the
past several years, and I don't find the help system very helpful...

Yes, this is something serious. Know how 16 bit apps are depreciated in XP? Sort of the same thing. In Longhorn, non-.NET VB/C apps will run depreciated. C is not a problem; just recompile with VS 7.0's cc. VB, however, is. VB.NET is totally different from VB6.
Fortunately, though, Sun has every intention of making Java support Avalon, WinFX, Indigo, and all the hot new .NET/Longhorn stuff. I would recommend Java over VB any day.
As for the OP, this is like way offtopic. Like, this is entirely the wrong domain name to be sending this message to. The wrong operating system even. That said, why not look at Litestep? Their several years worth of work is much better than anything you can throw up in VB in the time you have. May require you to learn C, but I'm managing it, so you can too (yes, I know VB like the back of my hand; I wrote a server in it ffs [yes, that's a bad idea, don't mention it]). Open formats for themes are present in LiteStep and BlackBox. Use their themes (or actually, use one of those two instead, their shell is better than anything you can throw together in VB -- there is no need to reinvent the wheel).

I asume you know M$ is dropping support for non-.NET VB...
Could someone tell me exactly what this means? I am trying to convert the boss to Java and if this was something serious then I might have a better shot. Does it mean that non .NET will not run properly on their forthcoming pieces of vomit OSes? Cheers Antoine
