TBH that little window never really bothered me.
I did however code somethign a while back which hid it from view. Although that was not what I was after.
What I did was code a splash screen in Delphi, as I wanted access to some of Delphi's nice GUI functions. and I dont have Blitz Plus.
I made my new Delphi Spash Screen fill the desktop area, show the user the splash information and wait a few seconds, During this time in code I made Delphi execute my game, which at this point was still in the background so no little window.
The Delphi app then closes itself down as the main Game boots.
You never saw the small window and to the user all he see's is the splash screen going and the game starting. Seems to me like you could just fill the desktop area with a loading ??
Duno, hope this helps.
