You'd be surprised how little you need from a basic desktop application, and how much of that is provided by Visual Basic out of the box.
Also, have you used VB before? having Timer icons all over your form while not being visible at runtime is fairly par for the course.
Also it was fun to have the "invisible" timers placed near the control they worked with. Timer that updates the listbox with serial ports? It's over by the listbox and where is the code for that timer? it's in the timer, double click it!
