Wishlist for PB 7.0 :)

Would be good a search field in the templates

It would be nice to see a more flexible and extensive gadget theming (ex StringGadget's border's tips (rounded/sharp) & color, padding etc...) without setting a callback to Win32.

Database handling to include MS-SQL Server and SQLExpress. This has been requested before.
For SQLite, FTS5 support. This has also been requested before.
I believe a program should only contain the code it needs, with a minimum of non-useable code. I have a large number of small procedures I commonly use. At the moment I have to include several large libraries, resulting in code bloating. I would like to automatically include the relevent file if I use one of my own procedures without having to use Include or XInclude. This would allow breaking up a large include file into many smaller ones so only the necessary code is included. (Example: I have several dozen specialized string handling procedures. ReplaceAny is one.) Perhaps this could be a "pre-compile" function of the IDE? The source code files could exist in a specific MyLibraries or MyProcedures folder, and a master list text file of procedures and their files could be read at compile time. I realize this could be difficult to develop, but it would allow easy extensions and bootstrapping through autoinclude libraries.
While Procedures do not have to be declared if they exist before they are called (isn't that like Pascal?), it would be nice to not have to declare them so they can be located anywhere. I have worked with other languages that were like this. Again, could be difficult to develop.
