I have asked this before, but have not yet resolved this problem... As can be seen in the pic attached, the screens are darker than the regular windows type screens. Owner wants it this way, so I have to abide by his wishes. The problem is that when a window loads, there is a quick flash of white before the background .gif loads. I know it isn't a delay while loading the picture file, because if I take the picture out, and just have the BackColor of the form as black, or any other darkish color, it still happens. Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks!
