Having spent the last 3 days working on Visual Basic, I can tell you that the Microsoft tools are SOOOOOOOOO limited it's not even funny. They give you ~15 settings for a feature and then hide another 75 and make you jump through hoops to use them.
So what you ask, just arbitrarily switching from fixed-size icons to auto-rescaling bitmaps, is a nightmare.
Games do not use any ActiveX/Common Dialog Controls, they just paint on the screen what they want. You'll notice no 2 interfaces are the same. You'll notice also that it takes months (or never) for International versions to come out and there are many other things we take for granted in these dialogs that have to be written manually.
I'm not really sure what you are requesting. You have those monstrous scroll bars and title bars and text, and then the regular size fish. Do you want the fish scaled up, or shrunk down?
