>>Unfortunately VFP's GUI is old fashioned.
Ironically GUI is returning to the sorts of simple primary-color blocks and symbols that prevailed in the DOS days. Decoration, shading and animation is out; stark simplicity is in.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
