Vernon,
'your own designs' - This highly probable is something you shouldn't do in code but with visual designers too (not all of them fit in this and some really needs manual coding - such as nonvisual classes). ie: If your forms have a unique look and common code then first you create a 'baseform' class and create all your forms from this class (not easy and even I don't know if you could do using 'New form'-I've never used it, but I think yes if you set default form class in options).
Say you design a new form,put a background picture,set default height,width for your forms, add a few custom common methods. After doing that visually, File\SaveAsClass. Assuming you saved that in myClassLib as myBaseForm, to create a new form, in command window enter:

create form < SomeForm > as myBaseForm from myClassLib

Then continue to design visually.
