Very Cool!!!
The code doesn't say how you made the picture box rotate like that.

Could you give any hints?
Thanks,
Derek.

GREAT CODE!!!
you always can change the picture to picture in the same size and sometimes you can change to picture in other size
The only problem i have is that i dont have any idea how to start understanding the code... :)

Thanks for all the positive comments about the code, I see some of u are using bigger pictures. If u get problems when using the bigger pictures e.g gaps appearing within the picture try changes the follow line in the timer control:
tmpval = BitBlt(StageDC, Cos(degtorad(angle_x + i)) * (Picture1.Width / 3.2) + (Picture1.Width / 3.2), Sin(degtorad(angle_y + i)) * (5) + 2.5, 1, Picture1.Height, LogoDC, i, 0, SRCAND) ' put spinning logo onto stage area

Increase the first 3.2 for bigger picture and decrease it for smaller picture. This adjust the step size of the angle per line of the bitmap! (got that!? :)) e.g. ....

tmpval = BitBlt(StageDC, Cos(degtorad(angle_x + i)) * (Picture1.Width / 3.7) + (Picture1.Width / 3.2), Sin(degtorad(angle_y + i)) * (5) + 2.5, 1, Picture1.Height, LogoDC, i, 0, SRCAND) ' put spinning logo onto stage area

The amount u de/increase it by depends on the size of the picture, try changing in decimal point steps!

Hope this helps,
Andy

Great prog.! It's incredible what one can do
when they put there mind to it... I played with it
a little and changed to a few different bmp's, but
nothing would show up on a black desktop bg...
any suggestions?

Beautiful, simply beautiful, but I noticed that the icon in the taskbar stays after you close the program using ctr+alt+del. I was also wondering if I didn't want the icon in the tray, then how would I take it out?
Thanks alot, it is some great code!
