greetings,

i just created a 4d application, my very first one :) and i wanted to
change the background screen from the 4d emblem to something that i
create in paint (perhaps) or some other graphics file..  or even a
blank back drop would be fine.  anything but the 4d emblem.

is there a way to do this, i figure there must be, but i couldnt find
anything about it in the manuals.

any help is appreciated..

thank you

jay

each menu bar may have a graphic associated with it.  you should use
the menu editor to open up the one that shows at startup and choose
'show custom menus.' while the custom menus are showing, paste in your
graphic off the clipboard.  you can then click anywhere to stop
showing custom menus.

You can put a picture with every menu-bar you create.
Go to the menu-bar editor in the Design Env. and choose a menubar.
The there is menu item (don't recall exact name and position, but it is
in most right one menu by the name 'Show menu'. This command displays your
custom made menubar and when you paste a picture here it will replace the
impossible four from ACI/ACIUS. If you chose cut or clear this will be
restored.

Hope this is correct information,
