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?
