You should use double buffering when updating the label (status) on the bottom of the first form when a user hovers over one of the 3 icons.
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, True)
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
Just toss that in your form load event. It should reduce the flicker when painting the label (or whatever control you used for the status). Or put the label in a picture box, since that control is doubled buffered automatically.
Also, thanks for the mention in the app. If you want to reduce the size of the executable, you can remove me from the About form, lol. I know I gave you a hand, that is all that matters to me, no other credit is needed. Just saying...
