Hi people,

Need help.

RB 5.5.5, Linux, compiling my Encoding Master. The results are this:

1) Because I use DecodeQuotedPrintable and DecodeBase64, RB starts up with failed assertion errors :( that it can't find those two functions.

What to do?

Either upgrade, downgrade (I believe 5.5.4 didn't have the issue, but I could be mistaken), or write your own implementation.

2) The buttons are cut off visually. They have ridiculously large borders, that don't even contain any fancy lickable aqua graphics, just massive plain grey borders that can't show text in. I'm used to using buttons of 18 point high, on OSX and windows, because it looks nice and it works.

18 pixels high is incorrect on the Mac according to the HIG. Windows should be 22 pixels, and Linux it varies depending on the theme.

Do I need to make my interface look bloated and clunky on OSX to make it look OK on Linux? Will bevelbuttons look better on Linux? Should I just say "well if you want something done properly, you need to do it yourself", and make canvas based buttons?

You can always tweak the interface in code.

3) A window that I am calling .ShowModal on, shows BEHIND the other windows??? This one is driving me mad. It works fine on MacOSX.

Sounds like a bug.
