You can do that yourself. Create a form that is run when you launch VFP.

Huh? We have flat style toolbars now. I'm not sure what you want here.

I agree. This would be a great feature if it is "fly out".

>5. "Just make it look cooler".

How exactly would this benefit developers. Also "look cooler" is not specific enough. What looks cool to you may not look cool to me. When you suggest an enhancement, you need to be specific about what you want and how this would benefit developers/end users.

I wouldn't go to the trouble of adding this to the wish list. The VFP 8 beta will be distributed at DevCon in about 6 weeks. The feature set is probably complete, or very close to it, by now.
