Strange that its not actually taking focus when you click on it. As far as there being a selection, it's weird. The tab thing I was mentioning freaked me out. Focusing the object with tab worked (the focusedobject said what I expected) but the arrow keys wouldn't work. When checking the selected

I find the bast way to set and show an image in a windowShape is use backgroundPattern. This way you do not need to worry about the image moving or not filling the screen. You can set it in the IDE or in code set the backgroundPattern of *object* to {your* imageID*} Hope that helps, Todd Fabache

You can reference an image in a substack for example, and in addition to setting the windowShape of the stack to the ID of the image, set the backPattern of the card of your mainstack to the same image ID. You don’t need to worry about aligning/positioning images, and you will likely get better
