I did an application where slideshows were being displayed in Visual FoxPro. I needed the same thing. One option from the menu was calling the display form which was displaying pictures on a full black background.

BackColor=0,0,0
Caption=''
Closable=.F.
ControlBox=.F.
MinButton=.F.
Movable=.F.

In the Init()

ThisForm.WindowState=2
ThisForm.BorderStyle=0

Then, in the Activate(), you can do what your application should do.
