I am a beginner who has developed a multipage form in Excel VBA. Could anyone please direct me to literature where I can find color and visual effects management (e.g., decreasing color intensity, generating a 3-D impression, having a sunk line to separate parts of a page, etc.) to improve the appearance of my application? All the books I've read (Walkenbach, Wrox Excel VBA and others) deal extensively with form controls, but practically none devotes time to the aesthetics of forms.

Thank you

There is not a lot you can do with forms other than experiment with the various properties of the form and its contents.

One way of going beyond this would be to put a picture as a background. See the form properties for this. Bear in mind that any additions do have "overheads" such as additionl memory usage and slowing down the application.

Also the main consideration should be "user friendly". I have come across forms that it has been difficult to see the text boxes, let alone what I an typing.
