You need to specify some tooltypes / CLI parameters to tell the *compiled* executable. In your case, WINDOW would tell the app to open a window on the frontmost pub screen:

yourcompiledapp WINDOW

A borderless window can be achieved with BORDERLESS:

yourcompiledapp WINDOW BORDERLESS

Check the manual for more parameters. The size of the application's window is determined by the size of the background picture.

Sorry, seems I missed your last answer (I'm often only reading threads that appear on the front page).

The only possible cause for your problem that comes to mind would be that your datatype can't handle the picture(s), i.e. it is unable to decode 24bit pictures - try if Multiview is able to display the picture(s) (if it is, the the datatype works fine).

If that doesn't work, send me an e-mail with your project, I'll have a look at it.

Surely theres nothing wrote with this:

LoadBGPic(1,"Ram:Main.jpg")
DisplayBGPic(1)

Yes, this is the right way to do this.

It's hard to help if I only know two lines of the script ;) Either post the full script here, or send me an e-mail  with the whole project.
