Hi there

Has anyone constructed a modern OSX window, they want to share?


Thanks
Mic

What is a modern OSX window?

Yep, just wanted to ask the same question!

One of these screenshots shows a new "TextEdit"*** document and the other a LC stack window.
Which one would you consider a "modern OSX window"?

***Since "TextEdit" is a native OSX application, I think this might be what you'd call a "modern OSX Window", right?

Is that LiveCode stack or a LiveCode Create window?

A Livecode 10.0.2 stack.

Thank you Klaus

I was not aware that 10 had this kind of window.

I do not have version 10

Hi Mic,

what version of LC are you referring to?
I thought that LC, like any other macOS app, will "borrow" the windows and many of the controls from the underlying OS?

Ah, thanks, well macOS tends to change its appearance with every new OS version, which may explain the little differences.

Sorry, don't understand?
Of course they have, but we can hide it in LC and even set the "decorations" to whatever fits for our app.

Yes, what do you exspect in that case?
Then it is up to us, the developers, to provide this functionality somehow, if neccessary.
