This has been an enlightening thread, I have been looking for just such a "look and feel". I will have to experiment with this over a remote desktop connection. On one of my apps, I had to take all the cool form closing and opening behaviors out because of very slow screen writes over the VPN. I have to wonder if alphablend works the same way as the form dissolve. Hmmmm.....

That way the user only sees the form. I tried: PROPERTY RBASE_FORM WINDOW_STATE 'MINIMIZED' But it hides both the menu form and the form it opened. What is the best strategy to do this??
