Thank you, I have done my project using SGX, which is failrly simple to modify and to understand -- e.g., I improved the Sprite gadget capability, added sound support, font coloring for buttons and text, additional controls and more stuff with little effort. I will post my modifications soon, after ...

You can make cross-platform programs with PB, and it's quite simple if you stay away from special graphic effects or libraries.
However, keep in mind that, regardless of Linux hype, this O.S. still holds less than a puny 1% share of the market, while MacOs nowadays stays at about 10% of the total ...

I completely agree with you -- unfortunately I am not developing a game but rather a fullscreen application...
However, I was looking at SGX, which seems well done indeed: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=31357

@chris_b
I actually already tried this solution, but it fails loading 1280x1024 or 1024x768 or even 512x512 textures.
As a matter of fact, the docs explicitly say to avoid textures larger than 256x256, which unfortunately are way too small for this kind of application.

Background image on 3D GUI

Hi folks!
I need to display a fullscreen GUI (using CEGUI gadgets and windows) over a background image.
I know you can display sprites over CEGUI gadgets and windows, but how can you display gadgets and windows over an existing sprite?Is it possible to obtain a partial "transparency" effect as it ...
