I recently noticed that if you hold the mouse down on a button and move it, the 
button doesn't stay highlighted, but instead the highlight  flashes.

Anyone else seeing this?  Anyone have a clue as to when it first went south?

Hi David

If I understand what you want you could use the Segmented Control Widget to get 
what you want.

https://livecode.com/livecode-widgets-the-segmented-control/

It just has full ratings, i.e. whole stars however  in a comment to that 
tutorial Paul McClernan has a link to a "Five-Star rating system LiveCode 
Builder Widget has 10 states (half-stars)"
https://github.com/PaulMcClernan/community.livecode.widget.fivestars

I think this would do what you need.

You would need to install the widget in your IDE to use it.

Thanks,Bob,  but as I understand what you are saying, wouldn’t that only trade 
in whole stars?  The easiest way to do that would be with icon switching - I 
want to have the last star part gold and part grey, (with a  vertical boundary 
through the star) if that is what is demand by the mean feedback score being 
represented.

I’m thinking perhaps icons will be the easiest way to go.  Maybe 10 stars each 
representing a degree of  ‘goldness’ and I will just set the stars Icons as 
required.  Duh!  Actually 11 stars, I will need a 0% gold.

Thanks anyway
