Well . . .
My Devawriter Pro has an optional faux backdrop stack (it's called
"DESKER") with this stackScript:
*on**preOpenStack*
**
***put**((item 3 **of****the****screenRect**) + 20) **into**WIDD*
**
***put**((item 4 **of****the****screenRect**) + 20) **into**HITE*
**
***set****the****width****of**stack "DESKER" **to**WIDD*
**
***set****the****height****of**stack "DESKER" **to**HITE*
**
***set****the****loc****of**stack "DESKER" **to****the****screenLoc*
**
*end**preOpenStack*
****
*on**mouseDown*
**
***toplevel**stack "DWPro"*
**
*end**mouseDown*
****
*on**mouseUp*
**
***toplevel**stack "DWPro"*
**
*end**mouseUp*
So this sort of thing is doable IFF you have a way of determining the
names of all the stacks you want in front of
your faux backdrop.
While you can use *toplevel* to bring one stack to the forefront there
is no **backlevel* to send a stack to the back.

All this talk about the background has me wondering: would it be
useful to anyone here if we had a way to:
- set the layer of a stack below all other LC stacks (opposite
of palette)
- set the layer ouf a stack below all other windows (opposite
of systemWindow)
It might be useful - although probably not implementable (judging by
how hard it is to get the backdrop to work reliably on all platforms).
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
