menu bars in windows
I suspect I'm being dim here but I've just created my first standalone for windows that has a menubar. My problem is stack has a dark background and the menubar only extends to the end of the last menu heading (in this case there's only file and edit) so you get this stubby little menubar at the top of the window rather than it extending the whole width of the window. Does anyone know how I can get the menu to extend the width of the window? I've tried setting the menubar group's width to the width of the window but that appears to make no difference.

The easiest way is probably to put a rectangle inside the group and stretch that to the width of your stack or some ridiculously high number (say 30000 pixels wide)
Hope this helped,

Once you've selected it in the Application Browser, click on the 'Edit group' button in the Revolution toolbar. That should get you into group edit mode, at which point you can add a ractangle graphic and give it the right size - you'll probably want to make it opaque and set its layer to the bottom, also using the inspector palette.
