Well I can make it so the logo is always shown, you can position it anywhere you like, but it will always be there. How bout that?

Good!

And a predefined Background image, wich has to Be in the Game Folder ( so the window image changes if you edit that Picture )

The logo really isn't that bad, in fact I do like it. It's like a bragging rights, you get to tell anyone who plays your game you’re a proud user of Gamestudio. In the commercial version (I don't know about the others) you can still suppress the logo screen in development stage only with the -nwnd command. The logo screen is still there it just goes on then off practically, but once you compile your game or whatever your making the startup screen will be back to its original speed.
I also agree that the current screen isn't pretty at all.
It would be really cool if the engine developers added a feature where you can change it around with scripting.


If "Pro" is the opposite of "Con", then is progress the opposite of congress?

Well, the situation is this. Changing the window with scripting is a Pro feature - I am just not allowed to put this in the lower editions. Only thing I can do is implementing a different look of the window for all users.

So I'm open for suggestions how to make the start window look more pretty while still displaying the logo and the startup text in it.

How about 'BMAP* window_bg' and 'VECTOR* logo_pos'.

Set window_bg to a bitmap definition to display it at startup. If it's NULL then use the default window. logo_pos can be a vector where a built-in logo is displayed at the specified position, else it's (0,0).

Not even that, I'm afraid. Unless you want me dead. The Conitec Marketing Departement would kill me if I'd put this in the editions below Pro.

Hmm well how about just replacing the default white window with a nice looking one. Personally I think some of the logos in the a7logos.zip look pretty good, so how about using ome of those instead.

Maybe something like this...



...Of course you would probably want more info on it, but i think it is much more appealing.

Maybe you could create a 'start-up window' contest.

I would also love to see a better looking startup screen. It's totally clear to me why you can't remove the startup window below Pro, but it would be great if it would look a bit better.
