XCODE WINDOW INVISIBILITY/Add images to background

Question

is there any way you can get rid of the actual window or make it invisible to the user?
Also how do i add pictures to background of my window? If i understand correctly, you have to add a UIImageView, and link it from the resources file, but then how do i access it in interface builder?
thanks for all the help.

To add pictures to an iPhone application (or a Mac application) follow these instructions:
1. Add the image to the Resources section of your project.
2. Add a class called ImageController, which is a subclass of NSObject. Add the following instance variable:
IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView;
Note, if you are doing this for mac, change it to NSImageView instead of UIImageView.
3. In the .m file of the ImageController class, add the init method like this:
-(id)init {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
[imageView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nameOfYourImage"]];
return self;
Note, if you are doing this for mac, replace UIImage with NSImage. Replace nameOfYourImage with the name of the image in the Resources folder (adding the extension is optional).
4. In Interface Builder, drag a view to the application's window, and drag an object to the Interface Builder document window. Set the object to be of the class ImageController, and control drag from the object to the view, and set the view to be the imageView outlet.
5. Build and run the app.
