I didn't get the beginning of this thread but I would like to comment :

- If you build an exe from your Realizer programs, your Realizer Application
window becomes your main program window. The title of this window is the
program name or if you prefer any title set by the
SetSys(_Title,"title you want") command.
- If your application doesn't have a main window but just one (or several)
forms, you can build your exe with the application invisible option and
then the first line in your program could be : SetSys(_Size,{_Minimize})
This will make your application appear as an icon at the bottom of the
desktop. To make Forms visible despite the _Minimize you have to add
+_PopUp to the Style constants.

As far as I know it is not possible to make the main application window
disappear completely. The SetSys command does not accept _Hide as a size
constant, but I can live with the disrete Icon at the bottom of the screen.
I wonder if it would be possible to make an "invisible" icon, or
a very small one ...Anyway, I know of a lot of professional packages that
"signal" the run-time environment by adding a "system"
icon on the desktop. No harm in that. A pity that you decided agains
release of your program.
