If you mean SuperPick.Livecode, I like it too. I was working in a similar vein with more of Crayon Name orientation, since I tend to use the Crayon Palette. Have you tried putting everything in the scrollBarDrag handler instead of the MouseUp handler? Works great on my machine. Roger On Dec

What I meant to note is that in the various “Preferences” panels that have tabs, like the “Sounds” panel (I’m still on Mavericks), the currently selected tab (what I called the “active tab”) is dark and the unselected tabs are white, or lighter in color. Whereas on Safari (an Apple app also)

By that reasoning, Livecode should recreate all the API’s Apple provides, rolling their own. And then we will get to gripe when they don’t work anymore after updating our OS. C’mon guys. For better or worse, ALL OS developers have to continue to innovate. If Apple’s OS troubles you, you can

Disabling effective innerShadow

I have a group that has its innerShadow property set. Within it are two rectangles that do not have their innerShadow property set but I can see an innerShadow on them, presumably because they are inheriting it from the containing rectangle. I want to get rid of the innerShadow on the rectangles
