How do you create a custom modal dialog without buttons in the title bar like the ask or answer dialogs? I've created a stack and made it modal. The close and minimize buttons still appear, but disabled. The maximize button still also appears, but is active.

You can set the decorations to EMPTY, if that is what you mean?
Either via the inspector for your stack or via script:

No, the ask and answer dialog open with a titlebar with no visible buttons. How do I get that appearance. Setting the decorations to empty removes the titlebar entirely..

Then: set the decorations to "title".
That should remove everything but the TITLE of the window.

I'm on Linux (the look may be different for your OS), but I think you want "Title" in the selector. These are the available arrangements for the title bar -



You get there by hitting the wand button here -



I should point out that on 'nix, the modal dialogs that ship with Lc show up with a close button, as you see here (at least, on XFCE) -

What are the decorations of stack "Answer Dialog"?

The decorations of the stack "Answer Dialog" are "default". Setting the decorations to "title" does not make the buttons disappear in the titlebar.

Which OS are you using, DarkKnight? Just curious at this point.

Mac OS Mojave

I'm also on Mojave and this works for me, see attachement: Title only!

I am seeing something different on my end. See attachment.

Very strange!?
I am using LC 9.6.2 RC1

Yah, I don't know what to tell you either DK, I can't simulate any mac environment past Snow Leopard.

But if Klaus is on the system you are using, you should both see the same things. Very weird

I know. Ask and answer dialogs appear correctly. I even downloaded another stack that appears correct, but anything I create do not.

If the stack properties are identical to those of the Answer Dialog, what code are you using to show your dialog?
