I've found http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/BlackScreen which just opens a simple black screen. But it has some issues. Mainly it doesn't matter where I put it in my startup-sequence the Workbench screen still shows up. And since the screen has no name, I have not found a way to recreate SysPic's ClosePic function which I could put in WBStartup.
I tried some other tools which can open screens but they seem to have the same issue with the Workbench screen still showing up. Plus they aren't really easily to configure to show a black screen. |
If shell is showing during boot, you could try renaming the startup-sequence, and create startup-sequence with "execute newname >NIL:" as the only command. It might then all run in the background?
If Workbench is showing before a desired program when loaded would Loadwb >NIL: hide it?
