selecting another icon from font awesome

Indeed you can.

BUT you are confined to those icons, and they are all black.

Have you seen this? https://livecode.com/extensions/button-bar/1-0-1/ Well, I, for one, hadn't. - Screen Shot 2020-10-25 at 10.14.16 am.png - BUT it suffers from the same "nanky-poo" as the other types of widgets of this sort: 1. Cannot use your own icons/SVGs/ what-have-ye. 2. Someone's obsession ...

Do you mean:

1. I want to embed a film in a Livecode stack and then play it.

or

2. I want to play a youtube film that is on youtube's site in a stack?

I'd always go for something home-grown:

This is dead easy . . . although, in a perfect world, it would be even better if one
could extend the dimmed out area to the edge of one's monitor, as per your

images with a semi-transparent section.

Thanks to the good offices of Klaus . . . Who "reminded" me about formattedWidth - richtInDowp.jpeg - You can try this sort of thing: on mouseUp put 1 into LYNE repeat until line LYNE of fld "myLIST" is empty put the formattedWidth of line LYNE of fld "myLIST" into line LYNE of fld "sL2" add 1 to LY...

Erm?

DESIGN mode

Err, what's that?

Are you, possibly, trying to spin off a standalone that allows end-users to do some sort of programming
themselves?

I think both us maybe missing each other's point. :D Anyway: I've just knocked a stack together that has NO problem changing a property in BROWSE mode: on mouseUp if the label of me is "GO RED" then set the backgroundColor of grc "RP" to red set the label of me to "GO GREEN" else set the backgroundC...

I suppose you could count the number of characters in a line, BUT with most fonts letters are NOT all the same length. Counting the letters in a line should be dead easy. Something like this: on mouseUp put 1 into LYNE repeat until line LYNE of fld "myLIST" is empty put the number of chars in line L...

The properties of an object are stored in an array . . .

You can do this sort of thing:

what do you gain by making it a widget?

I am still trying to work out what is so big about widgets; the only thing I can see about
them is that, instead of stacks made by other users, they are extremely difficult to tweak to one's own needs,
