Yes, it does, if you are root (on Linux) or maybe have administrator rights (on Windows). And it doesn't work for system prefs if you don't have access rights w/o any warning. It simply doesn't change the prefs. But the effects are even more subtle if a user changes his own prefs, and everything works well for another user who didn't. > I ask because it seems to me that, if it really does change system wide > prefs, that might be a support black-hole, with lots of inexperienced > users posting questions about why they don't get the focus indication or > the keyboard nav or etc., not realising that they have inadvertently > turned it off in the past when playing with the demo. Yep, that's what I thought, too, and I wrote it in STR #2471, but Matt chose to ignore it... ;-) At least this should be documented. My idea was to install another setup program (maybe fl_setup) together with fluid, so that it is apparent for the user that this is *doing* something, and not only a demo. But I do also know that this needs a lot of work... Albrecht _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
