Anyone know how to make my VB form's title bar look more contemporary? Specifically like that in Windows 98 or MS Office 2000 apps, whereby the title bar's color fades from right to left. Thanks a bunch in advance.

How To: Fade effect title bar
If your app runs on Win98 or 2000, then it will already have the fade effect.
If you really wanted to, you could detect which OS you were running on, and add the effect for Win95 and NT4, but it's a lot of work.
Here's a link to a page with an example: http://www.extreme-vb.net/form_effects.php3
which discusses both horizontal and vertical gradients.
cheers, jw
