Here's how it looks like in the setup dialog: http://cygwin.de/cygwin-splash.png > I can do the same for the animation, too. I have not the faintest idea how to include an animation in a standard MFC dialog. Does MFC grok animated gif's in icon files? Apart from that, I really like the still and I would be content with it... except... the C jumping out of the box doesn't have this beveled look, like all other icons have now :} Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
