Hi All!

Since I installed Ambient 1.43 nightly build, Ambient screen always opens as front screen while Directory Opus (which I set up to automatically run after Morphos boot) own screen doesn't open on front anymore...
Any suggest?

you start dopus using wbstartup?

@antibike

No! I run DOpus from user-startup...

than try it from wbstartup. because this way ambient is allready loaded and dopus should bring his screen to front.

@ AKiLL

Alternatively you can put a "Wait x" command in the user-startup just before the line that runs DOpus. You should find the minimal time x in seconds by trial and error.

Just tried with your trick, Doctor! Still no way to get dopus screen be in front after boot :(

@AKiLL
Did you try to start it from wbstartup? Just tried it myself and it works for me, Dopus in front.

Maybe not to user-startup because it would delay Ambient (LoadWB command) too cancelling effect. Maybe run DOpus from WBStartup using small script where it waits second or two and then starts DOpus.

Or just insert the line

Run <>NIL: Execute S:DOpus-startup

within your user-startup in place of the line that directly runs DOpus. Put the removed line in DOpus-startup script, just after a "Wait x" (the minimum number of seconds x must be found by trial and error). DOpus-startup is like the script suggested by Itix, but must be put in S: (sorry, I hate WbStartup ).

In such a way (thanks to the Run command) DOpus-startup is executed soon in a non-blocking way. So, while DOpus-startup expects its inner "Wait x" command, the final part of the user-startup is executed, control returns to the startup-sequence, and Ambient loads. When the "Wait x" in DOpus-startup expires, DOpus starts and will be in front of the Ambient screen.

Tnx Doctor! The trick you suggested worked.
Btw! I set value 1 for Wait command.
