As a few know Zap and I have been working on this for a few days now.
The question was raised in some topic about packages for FB, so you dont have to download the full 3MB file, when yo wont use 90% of the included libraries anyways.
So we got to work, and heres some screenshots of the WIP:

It's made in VB, ya, I know.. but neither me nor Zap feelt like messing with GUI in FB

Well, the exe is kind of big, ~150 or so KB
And it does require the VB runtimes.
Guess we should make it in FB, using GTK+, who wants to DL 30mb runtimes?
Good, you do it ^_^
Besides, most people have the vb runtimes, if not.. well, no problem, they will be downloaded if needed

Anyone who doesn't have the VS98 runtimes in this day and age is a moron. You hear me? A MORON.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

OK, I was joking in my previous message, it was directed to Z!re and I expect Zire understood it.
Great work, Zire & Zap! I'll download it, of course!!
Ado: We had our (good) fun in another thread some months ago... Can we forget it?
BTW: I have checked and I have VB5 and VB6 runtimes... Checked too moron in the dictionnary... Uh?

I would recommend making the buttons bigger =) Nothing is worse than tiny buttons that are missable.
Looks good otherwise

Ok, bigger buttons coming up.
EDIT: Overrules, bigger buttons look like crap.

Buttons look good
HOWEVER (sorry to say this):

Button size is optimal if the text just fits in the dotted rectangle when it's selected. Just a matter of taste usually though, and moreover, this is just a (irrelevant) detail.
