Hello, I would like to give users of my project the option of using the MC backdrop. On Windows (at least one 98 and one NT system), the Win OS task bar gets hidden below the MC backdrop (apparently always on the NT system, and almost always on the 98 system, even with task bar "always on top" option set). This causes a problem when user minimizes (iconifies) one or more of the MC stacks (can't access the task bar to maximize it again). And, in an apparent bug, MC crashes when one of several MC stacks is iconic and I try to make a change in the backdrop setting (MC 2.3.2 on NT, at least). Does anyone know of a way to keep the Win OS task bar on top of the MC backdrop? Is there a similar problem on unix/linux? Is there an option to have the MC backdrop cover only the windowBoundingRect vs. the screenRect? Are there other strategies people use for a "backdrop" for MC projects? As primarily a Mac user, I was puzzled by a student's comment that my MC project should "take over the entire screen" like other Windows apps (or all app windows being contained within a parent window of that app). Now I am beginning to think that the student's comment is related to Windows OS behavior, in contrast to Mac OS behavior, of not activating all windows belonging to an app whenever one is made active. Does anyone have strategies to make life simpler for a Windows user, other than "taking over the entire screen"?
