Design Environment ?
I just installed vb.net a couple of days ago. I am getting comfortable with the new user interface and have figured out how to show only the windows (solution explorer, properties etc) that I want to see along with autohide and so on. I have gotten it about the I like it but one thing still nags the F()k out of me... is there anyway to remove that awful container around forms in design mode? I know it is a container for objects that used to be on the form i.e. imagelist etc. but it is so anoying and takes up valuable space. Plus the color is white and it half blinds me when the rest of my desktop is darker? Any pointers on how to tone this down or get rid of it?

It only shows up if you have one of those components on the form. I don't see a way to remove it but it is resizable so you can make it small and scrollable.
-
When I'm in form design mode, the form I'm designing is encapsulated within another form like a MDI app regardless of whether or not there are objects in the objects container. The form I'm designing will say Form1 and the form its contained within will say Form1.vb[Design]. Is there no way to get rid of this outer shell form?
-
You mean the white space around the form itself? If so then no I don't believe so.

Yes that's what I meant! Oh well I like the rest of the design better than vb6 but I guess it can't all be better!
