William, after some extensive testing of Lion, I conclude that Lion behaves
better than Snow Leopard in regard to the available size a stack can take
up. I can only surmise that when you upgraded to Lion your Dock settings
changed, in particular the default size prior to any magnification effect.
...
To Summarise;
The tallest Stack is achieved by having the Dock on the left or right -
only 84 pixels lost.
Moving the Dock to the bottom with Auto Hide On, you lose another 4 pixels
- 88.
Turning Auto Hide Off, with the Size at Smallest, regardless of
Magnification, you lose another 29 pixels - 117.
Increasing the Size of the Dock Icons increases the pixels lost, at Max
Size you lose 92 pixels on SnoLeo but less, 78 pixels on Lion - 209/195 !!!
Turning LiveCode's Tool Text and Tool Icons ON loses an additional 24
pixels - but this would not be valid for standalones.
Therefore, you can lose 0 to 149 pixels (135 for Lion) of stack height
depending on your Dock settings, but either way, Lion is better than Snow
Leopard. I assume the case is similar for stack width if you have the dock
set at Left or Right.
That's some damn fine sleuthing, Kay. Excellent work.
