This brings back memories of playing around with Visual Basic 6 as an 11 year old, trying to figure out how exactly Microsoft came up with the flat toolbars used in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office 97 while the toolbar controls provided by Visual Basic were the standard Windows 95 rows of buttons (though VB 6 itself used flat toolbars). Today I have no issues making flat toolbars even from scratch, but my 11 year-old self had no idea how to come up with them. Still, sometimes I miss being a kid.
