I have set a new application to launch with an MDI window. That works fine and I have found how to make it open maximised. What I can't find is how to make it look more attractive - e.g. with a color (other than that dark grey (yuk)), or better still, with a picture or logo etc. I asked the RB helpdesk, but was informed by Jason that RB cannot do that, but he suspected there was a way, using a Windows API. Any volunteers ?

You can use the SetSysColor API to change the MDI background color, but it's *really* not advised since that changes it for every MDI app, not just yours.

The only other way that you could do it is by getting a handle to the MDI client window handle (the Windows Functionality Suite has a method for this I think; if not, just ask) and manually drawing stuff yourself.
