When a script editor window opens when there is a script execution error I would expect it to REMAIN OPEN when the BLUE SQUARE is clicked to acknowledge the fact, so that the programmer can edit the script. Instead of this, on clicking the blue square the script editor window closes, meaning t

[OT] An XFCE launcher that will hide behind Livecode standalones

The XFCE panels always are "in front of" any programs launched. I have a problem in my school in that the computers now contain about 120 standalones [and more on the way] that I have authored for ESL teaching purposes: but I really don't want to either: 1. Spend ages drilling down through fo

Re: [OT] An XFCE launcher that will hide behind Livecode standalones

That's all very fine in theory until you realise that new standalones will be continually added, so one will have to be continually rewriting the launcher and reinstalling it, along with the new standalones, on all the machines in my school. I have subsequently tired out using an XFCE panel wi

Widget Palette

As the range of Widgets in LiveCode 8 is set to expand I would like to see a "revWidget" stack as something separate from the "revTools" stack. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26785 Richmond. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@

Re: Look and Feel in LC8

Until LiveCode "just does" SVG images, a clever person who understands Java might be able to do something with this to break down an SVG image into its components so that they could be imported individually: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10621118/split-groups-in-svg-into-sub-images-positio

SVG complexity

If one imports an SVG image into LibreOffice Draw [whether this works with MIcrosoft Office, I just don't know] one can then export the component parts as individual SVG paths to import into LiveCode. Of course this is a "pain", but it is, at the moment, a case of either that or convert the th

Better theming in Livecode 8

This looks interesting: https://livecode.com/better-theming-in-livecode-8/ Until one reads this: "If you don’t want to use the new appearance, you can set the “theme” property of a control, group, card or stack to “legacy” and the pre-LiveCode 8 appearance will be used. To get the new appeara

No: I'm sorry, I'm not going to for the very simple reason that when I opened LC 8 DP 15 on Xubuntu 64 bit 15.10, created a standard 400x400 stack, imported an SVG widget, and clicked on it to get the preference palette my whole computer froze solid. Probably try it later with DP 12 or somethi
