- Actually it's very easy. By default a window has no border, no title
- bar, no max/min buttons, no system menu, no application menu. Those are
- things you put in when you register a window class, or create a dialog
- definition in a resource file. So to do the logo, all you do is leave
- out the details, and draw the logo bitmap in the Window in response to
- some event, like WM_PAINT. A logo that comes up and stays up till your
- app finishes initializing is probably a modeless dialog.
