When someone closes a Form wihtout explicitly saving, I revert changes (sometimes I have the Revert/Save option as a system preference). Changes made in one form should be reflected in another when it receives focus. Modal forms should not have access to toolbars or anything outside of the form itself. Right-click on a combobox clears the choice. Colors are BAD. Bold is BAD in general, reserved for section headers. All control should have ColorSource set to 0 (Object's Color Properties) to avoid nastiness on someones machine who got cute with Win color schemes.

I think that for robust development these are all irrelevant things. I mean that well-designed application allows to apply, remove and reapply them in a blink of eye (client's eye I mean :-).
(... subclassing ...).
