Hi, This may not be what you are looking for, but it is possible to maintain your own backdrop window without much trouble. Create a blank stack, set its backColor and/or backPattern, and set its rect to the screenRect. Pop in a script that sends it to the back on resumeStack. If that's not enough, add an idle handler which queries the windows() property- I believe these appear in layered order. You could thus detect if the backdrop stack is no longer frontmost.
