I need a piece of advice. I would Google it if I had any clue what to Google for, but seeing that I havne't, I thought that I would check with all the wise guys here in the Lounge (gotta be wise to be here, right?):

I have a small C# application, very simple. So simple that I really couldn't be bothered writing a manual for it.

But I do need to give the users a quick clue as to what button they ought to click first when they start up the application the first time.

I thought of showing a balloon tooltip on app startup, and I know that CP has a lot of articles about that. Problem is that most of them are in C++ and the few that aren't are old and butt-ugly.

So my question to you is: What can I do instead of a balloon tooltip to attract the users attention to a specific control in an easy to understand and good-looking way? Any suggestions?

TIA!
