Mike, I'm extremely grateful for your help on this matter. And I have
finally got some kind of explanation of what is going wrong.
Hearing that the native appearance manager worked for you on Win7/64 -
which is what I'm on too - I created another user account and logged in
there. LC7 RC4 native
Hey cool. It would never have occurred to me that setting a background
could wreak such havoc. Another bug to squash is a good thing. (2 in fact,
lc shouldn't pick up the disabled proxy setting either)

RC4 is loading (every time) as Motif appearance on Windows 7. Resetting
this through the menu takes effect for that session, but on restarting,
this preference is not saved.
Deleting the stacks here:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\RunRev\Preferences
just results in a new Livecode7 stack being
That is not a preference that is saved, its session specific. I looked at
the script for that menu, and the function that sets the look and feel (or
at least the one that determines which look and feel should be used, on
initialization) is this:
function revThisLookAndFeel

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. But that's not the problem. I can change
the appearance via the menu. But such a change will not stick.
I discovered that this is a preference problem because somehow LC 7.0.1 RC4
is remembering a httpProxy setting which I set some days/weeks ago (which

Interesting. In my case, its opposite. I can set motif, but when it starts
up again its back to native. (which is why I was wondering if its a setting
that isn't save)
Somewhere, if I can find it, is a preferences template file. I bet at some
point that got saved with the changes. Either way, I
Another good suggestion, Mike. But even save stack revPreferences did
not make the preference change stick.
The httpProxy setting is as annoying as the Motif look. It was a libURL
error showing me that it was trying to access the proxy that made me
realise the prefs were not being saved.

Reading up on some stuff. You might check to make sure that windows itself
doesn't have a stuck proxy setting (not likely, since you'd notice it
elsewhere, but worth a check) because liburl will use the windows setting
of it isn't set specifically with code. At least it's something to
eliminate.
The suggestion about a system proxy was a good one!
That proxy was disabled on a system-wide basis on Windows; the values for
the proxy were still in the boxes (but grayed-out). It appears all the
browsers were ignoring these values, as the Internet Options said to not
use a proxy. Livecode
Can't test on 7.0.1 stable, but on rc4 it has an affect. in rc4 from the
menu, it does appear to work for me, setting back to the native appearance
manager look.
I looked at this though:
The Appearance Manager option can be used only on Windows XP, Mac OS and
OS X systems. If you set the
Oh, I'm on win7 64 bit. If you're on 95, the behavior would differ. It
would try to set to appearance manager (most likely) then shift to windows
95. Wish I had more os's around here to experiment with.
