I say manipulate what you want:

in main.prg or application object init do the following:
1. do mymenu.mpr
2. change screen caption _screen.caption='bla bla...'
3. close toolbars and show your toolbar
4. format main window _screen.windowstate=2 or read presaved ini settings of screen look: position, size, state and set them
5. change screen icon with one of your application
6. put any fancy logo of company, programer
7. issue _screen.visible=.t. AND BANG.. YOUR APPLICATION IT'S SHOWED IN FINAL LOOK
8. issue READ EVENTS

Meen time it's better to put a toplevel form as a splash screen and close it before READ EVENTS.

and user is ready to work.


Include in your project one file CONFIG.FPW containing line SCREEN=OFF and compile with this file included. In this way VFP screen are not showed until you issue _screen.visible=.t.; before that you have time to manipulate what you want.
