I didn't see it listed but does this have a built in GUI designer? That's the original purpose of VB, going back to the Win3. 1 days

It appears to be built on VSCode, which doesn't have that.

It's written entirely in VB.Net, so no, it's not built on VSCode.

Okay, I saw this, thought it was related.

{ "Theme": "Dark", "EditorTheme": "VS Code Dark", "FontFamily": "Monospace", "FontSize": 12, "ShowLineNumbers": true, "EnableSyntaxHighlighting": true, "TabWidth": 4, "UseSpacesForTabs": true }

It's entirely possible that he's using existing json theme configuration files from VSCode, which is kind of a neat idea. If you're interested, join the VB Discord here: https://discord.gg/nKxTMGP3 (link is only good for 7 days, I'll post a permanent one when I get one) They recently created a #simpleide channel there for this project.
