(There is a stack "tools palette") = false
Tools Palette has disappeared and I don't know where to find it.
Also, it would be nice to put it where I want it on opening.
Something to do with opening a .rev file from the 3.5 license.
Thanks,
Erik Hansen

p.s. now Application Browser has gone lost.

The name of the tool palette stack is "revTools". The name of the app browser stack is "revApplicationOverview".

The most common reason for stacks to go offscreen like that is if you run the IDE with those stacks on a second monitor and then disconnect that monitor. LC does remember the last location, but doesn't adjust for the change in screens. You can get them back into view by setting their locations from the message box. Or if you ever forget the names, you can delete your LC prefs and restart the IDE. It will create new prefs with all stacks in their default positions.

Erik, check this thread, and the attached stack I made a while ago, that shows where in infinite space every stack window is. I sometimes get the Dictionary started up at like -9000, -9000 sometimes, which is why I made it in the first place.

HI.

Know also that you can always:

"answer the stacks"

This will only give a list of currently loaded stacks, so you may not see the application browser unless you already opened it. But at least you will see what is lurking, wherever that may be.

Thanks for all the help. The external monitor must be the culprit.
View - LiveCode UI Elements in lists helped me find the rev... stacks.
Wrote commandKeyDown handlers to toggle and set the location for Application Browser, Tools Palette and Variable Watcher.
The poly.livecode idShowScreen stack is incredible, esp. with 10 subStacks.

"Answer the stacks " is very handy" but it does not show Paint and Draw Tools which is checked in the Tools Menu
and has also disappeared. There are so many LiveCode UI Elements that I couldn't find the Paint palette.
Something to do with /toolset/palettes/?

The paint and draw tools are part of the Tools palette, they aren't a separate stack. Just toggle the little arrow button to show or hide them.

Thanks for the tip.
