Re: Re: Modeless screens on Windows

The plugin/no plugin situation was a red herring - I had forgotten that I have code that sets the stack to toplevel if the stack is not running from the plugins folder. I removed that code and now the title bar is blank no matter where I run the stack from. I guess I should be happy that this isn

OK, I have a diagnosis for this but not a fix. If I open this stack from the plugins folder, the title bar is blank (except for the close button). If I move it out of the plugins folder then open it, the title bar contains what it should. Having said that, I have no idea how to fix it! Pete lcS
