Hmm, lots of interesting posts here, Matt. In response to your Visual Basic comment, we're actually working on transitioning Gnotella from the Win32 environment to a (relatively) large MSDOS batch file. This would make it more efficient to work with, and skinning to a very very limited degree would still be supported (basic VGA palette customizing). This will probably be available in a few weeks - a month.
