LiveCode Forums

Should credentials be the same between forum and the QA pages ? No, for whatever reason, there is no unified login between your account page, the forums, the mailing list, or the quality db / bug db, you can *make* them all the same, but you have to do each separately, which I still think is a real...

My apologies to the OP, I did not remember this until Richard posted. @Jacque - not in the way the OP was looking for it too work, the way I read it (the bold / italic below) - ...These buttons should be " transparent " in that the desktop underlying the stack can be seen through them . My pictures ...

Hello: I would like to have some (i.e., 3) buttons on my card that the user can click. These buttons should be "transparent" in that the desktop underlying the stack can be seen through them . Is that possible in livecode? Thank you for your help, Olli Yes, that is not only possible, but very easy ...

Nice figuring that one out Mark, I doubt I would have gotten there heh. Well, it's been a *long* time since I've had to use the tools palette, but I just pulled PowerTools out of my system to try this out. been probably about that long for me too since I'm usually in Mc, but when I'm testing (as was...

Apparently, 7.1.4 is the last version that works as expected (with a player object, can start / stop etc). From 8.x up, not so much. That really is all the time I had to play with this heh, good luck.

You know, I had completely missed this question somehow :oops: PS: Presumably the godot app wasn't an LC app? or is there a way to use the godot engine in LC? Godot is an open source cross platform 2D / 3D game engine with enough built into it to be a fairly viable general purpose programming langua...

I may have to revise my recomendation about distro's to run, if your looking to run 9.6.x. I found all kinds of wierd anomalies trying to use 9.6.2 on it, for instance, the only way I could place a player on a stack was to go to the object menu, for some reason just dragging one off the tool palette...

Here is all I have to say about that

P.s. - I love it when Linus actually talks out-loud heh, like listening to someone with mad turrets sometimes (no, he is not in that video speaking).

Which one or two should I use?

Why not make 3 separate versions checking only 1 at a time? This is an honest question, I don't do mobile anything.

Thanks all - nice to see such passion about OSs

Nah, THIS is passion about OSes !

I should like to point out that when I first started experimenting with Linux 18 years ago I ran through a whole slew of distros (and, occasionally, mess around with stuff now), and it took me 3 years until I settled down with Xubuntu. I have a few distros I play with regularly... https://imgur.com...

Stam, my posts are not meant to be taken as defensive, if they are coming off that way, you have my apologies. I am most certainly not trying to start a pissing contest, in my first response you might remember I said - ...if you have something that works for you, stay on that. Lots of people get rea...

After reading your reply, I'm not so sure my reply was as clear as it could be, so I'll try to rephrase it a bit. ...but for the uninitiated there are huge variances in usability That statement would apply equally to any of the 3 major desktop OSes. If you were used to Windows, and tried to jump on ...

Well, there is actually a desktop for 'nix based on NeXT, it is called 'window maker'. Works well with GnuStep, which offers a really nice programming environment. System 6-9 all went well for me, but not well enough for me to stay with Apple (at the time, I had to access Win specific software and a...

Heh, I'd say it depends on what kind of computer type person you are, more than your bullet point list. For a point of reference, I started with computers when CLI only OSes were all you had, so I don't find typing a command to be all that hard or scary, but I think that would *not* be the real prob...
