Hi from Beautiful Brittany, I’m confused !
Kee Nethery says that he wants to remove backgrounds in a stack “to bring it into the modern era” Can anybody explain this statement ? What does this mean ? Is the background mechanism dying, or even being dropped ? I understand that many stacks (an old Hypercard term) have only one “card” (an old Hypercard term) , as they represent an application driven from a single window. But what is “not modern” about a background ? We may have made hyperspace jumps with LiveCode since Hypercard brought in the mecanization of Rolodex type data, but I assume that the concept is still “on the cards” (sorry, I mean “in multiple app windows”). Not overly worried, as I have decided to stop programming and stop motor-biking, when I hit 80 (after 60 years of both), as I think I will have found something new to do !! But nevertheless …….. -Francis _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
