I have had problems with this as well.
THere is a message for minimize - iconifyStack
But there is not a message if the user changes the screenSize/screenResolution through the OS - so be warned, if the user does this you will have to have the software quit and reset on openStack.
I don't know why the backdrop does this but it is a problem. I have also had a problem where the back drop covers my own stack when playing with minimize maximize etc.
FWIW

Beta testers for a simple slide show presentation are pointing out to me that if they minimize the window, the entire backdrop I have set covers the screen and they are left without any toolbar.... or access to their desktop
(I set the backdrop to a dark blue which covers the user's desktop entirely at start up of the presentation.)
Is there a way to trap for the mimimize window action such that we can toggle the backdrop on and off?
TIA

I have another and quite annoying problem with the backdrop, too.
They may be related somehow...
I have a stack where the user can do something with an image and later i have an
AppleSript which reveals that file in the finder...
There is a toplevel stack and a palette.
Now with a backdrop the AppleScripts works fine and reveals the file in a finder window.
The "missing stack" is visible behind the finder window and before the backdrop,
but when i click on the backdrop or the "missing stack", the palette appears
and the toplevel-stack DISAPPEARS, big fun...
I tried to script a "resume" handler in the palette window, but with no success.
on resume toplevel "the missing stack" end resume
Does not work, although that stack is "in the openstacks"...
Any ideas for another workaround? Except setting "the missing stack" to palette, too?
Is this a bug, and if yes, has somebody already reported it?
Question:
Do you think that the whole app, including backdrop!, should be hidden when switching
to finder/desktop or another app and again shown when switching back? Would this be "normal" behaviour?
Isn't the backdrop confusing the user in that case?
What do yout think?
