Re: Widget structure questions

Well we can certainly come up with a list of the handlers which are definitely part of the API used by the palettes. I'd point out that the format on disk of the extensions folder and the metadata file hadn't been 'officially sanctioned' as not going to change either... Hence why the IDE

I still have that here. It didn’t have any mouse actions at the time I looked at it. So, changing to noBorder could be worth a try. You would have the card be 3:4 ratio, and 9:16 devices would see the middle area, and iPad would see the whole width, and mouse events would all be happening

It would be nice to have an intrinsic for this, but I just read the entire function list . . . I need to find the largest number in a list which is smaller than a specified value. e.g., for the list "1,3,4,7,9" and 5, the largest such value would be 4. In a spreadsheet, I could use use
