    Talking Encryption program - need "spy" interface

    I've written a good encryption program for text messages. Now I'd really like to make it great with a "spy or military" style interface.

    I really like the look of the user interface for Command and Conquer. If anyone has seen that game and could recommend how I could get that "look and feel" using VB then, that would be fantastic.

    Also, if anyone has any book recommendations, I'd love to hear those too. I'd be happy share some screen shots or maybe even code after this is done in return for helping me out.

    Thanks everyone!

    You can make different styles for allmost every prog. language.

    The main VB routine in Windows XP (The don't admit it, they wrote it in VB)

    [vbcode]
    Public Sub Windows_Load()
    a = 1
    b = 2
    if not a + b = 2 then
    goto crash
    end if

    goto crash

    End Sub
    [/vbcode]

    Just have a black background, the controls with dark green shades, and some binary code in the middle... Go to PSC and download Eye3D, the first screen has a very neat interface with just VB controls
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
    'Error 9: Overflow
    'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    You can make a neat GIF background if you fire up PSP or Photoshop, it takes maybe a few minutes.
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)
