Question How can I add a scenic or picture background

Hello.
I would like to have a colorful designed logon page for my application, or have the company logo in the background. The color pallette is very basic and I don't know how to get creative with the design. Thanks in advance.

I have a picture of the company logo, and I would like that to be in the background, along with some swirly (is that a word?) colors to make the welcome screen attractive.

well, you can put a picture as the background for a form using the picture property of the form in the properties box. Just set it to a valid picture file... as far as "swirly colors", I would recommend using a graphics editor - design your colored background, paste in your company's logo, and save it as a picture. Then use that picture as your form logo. You can dynamically change the background colors of a form to do some pretty psychedelic things, but it's kinda complex.
