I Peter: I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to achieve (I don't follow the forums very often). If you want to show cards within a "workspace", you can set the dimensions of your stack to be larger than the area needed for content, and make a background (ie desktop or tabletop) that appears on all cards, on which your card content sits. You will only be able to show one card at a time however. If you're looking to show multiple "cards" at once, this is not possible using runRev's card structure. You'd have to place your card content into separate groups -- then you could hide/show groups at will. If you have a lot of "card groups" however, this can become unwieldy. A third option could be to place your content into palette stacks, that overlay a topstack. This way you can have multiple cards within multiple windows, all sitting on top of a separate background stack, and because the cards are in palettes, they will never fall behind the background stack. You could also give the palette stack custom drag routines so they can't be dragged beyond the rect defined by the background stack. If none of these options fits what you're trying to do, you may need to explain more of what you're trying to accomplish.
