If we get corresponding feedback that they *don't* like having the backdrop (we didn't get such feedback at the first user testing) then we would for sure make it an option. But honestly, the fewer questions a user is asked about their default preferences the better. Imagine having to answer on startup whether you want the palettes to disappear when you open the script editor, and whether you want an HTTP proxy, and what colour you want your selection handles to be, and whether you would like to see default handlers in the handler list, and whether you would like to see property labels instead of property names in the property inspector. Surely the most sensible route here is to decide on defaults and see if people for whom those defaults are relevant have any objections? I'm not sure it is necessary to be offended on behalf of hypothetical new users :-) _______________________________________________ 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
