Re: Hunting Default Preferences
That’s what I was looking for - the location of the LC preference file. Actually Randy Hengst wisely advised me that the View menu has a toggle for the backdrop. . .DUH!

Re: Hunting Default Preferences
Jerry, did you already try to delete the LC preference file? The function revEnvironmentUserPreferencesPath() returns the path to the preferences file. > Am 07.05.2023 um 23:39 schrieb Jerry Jensen via use-livecode > : > > Hi folks, > > I am returning to LiveCode after a spell of other projects, including > debugging others’ LC code. > > I find myself with a predicament - on launch of LC (no stack, just the LC > app) I get a backdrop of off-white when I need none. > I have no idea how this got changed (never underestimate fatfingers). > There is probably a preference file somewhere that will let me change it back > to the way it was (none) but I can’t seem to find it. > I have looked everywhere that seems reasonable, but that is clearly not > enough. > > Its easy enough to put: > set the backdrop to none > in each mainstack opencard handler, but that is annoying at best. > > Where should I look? > > Regards, > Jerry Jensen > M1 MacBook Pro, OS 13.3.1 LC 9.6.9 > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Hunting Default Preferences
Hi folks, I am returning to LiveCode after a spell of other projects, including debugging others’ LC code. I find myself with a predicament - on launch of LC (no stack, just the LC app) I get a backdrop of off-white when I need none. I have no idea how this got changed (never underestimate fatfingers). There is probably a preference file somewhere that will let me change it back to the way it was (none) but I can’t seem to find it. I have looked everywhere that seems reasonable, but that is clearly not enough. Its easy enough to put: set the backdrop to none in each mainstack opencard handler, but that is annoying at best. Where should I look?
