Livecode Compiler

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

It has now been over one year since I purchased a Livecode Compiler license
which the original delivery date was last fall.

I recall there being a preview release in the summer of 2022 and GA version
by the end of the year.

Is there any update or announcements regarding this?

It’s disheartening that I’m past a year of purchasing and there still is no
deliverable.

If I missed it please let me know.

regards,

Glen

Re: ChatGPT

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Just for fun I thought I would add a few things here.

1. if you add the chrome extension from https://sharegpt.com/ then you can
print save the chat.openai.com output seamlessly.

2. If you are ambitious you could port this extension to safari and then
port it to ios for iphone and ipda

3. if you used hypercard instead of livecode there were more sample code
available and then you could easily migrate to livecode (similarly to get
complex routines you could ask for python or another language that had a
large code base to pull from)

4. you can start with asking it to write a routine and then after it
responds you can then ask it to enhance the routine or add to the routine
etc as if you were dialoguing with a programmer

5. I have found that it makes its best effort based on the level of cases
and so not all the code is correct but fairly close (I did a test with
mathematica). Optionally copilot is more rigid and alpha code is also more
precise but limited to two languages

6. it's other strength is writing blog topics, letters, marketing etc

Not sure if any of this is of interest.

Re: Date and time

Obviously I overthought this (thanks Bob)...I was trying to convert the
time separately and then the date and combining them which was leading to
issues.

Date and time

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I'm pondering the easiest way to do a linear scale based on date and time
data.

My thoughts are that if you can change 06-Jun-2019;09:05:21 to epoch
seconds then it would possible to take all the similar timestamped data and
change it to seconds thus using it as an "x-axis" scale for graphing
purposes.

Of course after the scale is done and the determination of the number of
ticks used (i think it would be between 5 and 10 ) then you could reverse
the tick marks labels from seconds back to time.

I guess my difficulty is is getting 06-Jun-2019;09:05:21 converted to
seconds. I have gone through several of the dictionary details around
converting but have not found a solution...

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Design questions...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I was looking for input on the following design questions...I haven't done
anything for years so I am looking for other developers' experiences.

1. what would be considered the smallest stack size for a desktop app?

2. Does the above fill most of the screens in use today ...ie what is the
noraml or considered the standard screen resolution for a desktop laptop?

3. Are apps considered acceptable if the user needs to scroll down to see
the full app.

4. Are menu bars (ie File Open) still necessary or are users familiar
enough with section buttons?

5. If the stack is too large for a user (say they use a lower resoultion
screen notebook then is there a way to detect this and have scroll bars
appear?

I appreciate any insights the list may have.

Line Graph Widget - Plotting time series

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Line Graph Widget to grapg a time series (x axis)
where the time is in the format 2:45:16

The time data is being treated like text and therefore tries to plot using
every x series as a x label.

Optimally I would like to see only a handful of x labels spread that covers
the time period as x labels.

I also tried just using linear data series for the x axis and the Line
Graph Widget wants to put a label for every number.

Is there a property that could be set that recognizes the x data series as
a number or time?

thanks,

Why such a large external folder on Windows?

Hello,

I took a very basic app that has a browser widget and made a standalone for
OS X and Windows in LC 9.0.5

I was shocked that the Windows standalone has an external folder of 116.5
MB plus the .exe file where as on OS X the single standalone file was 18MB.

I cannot fathom the concept of pushing out a 116.5 MB app where its OS X
version as almost a 10th the size.


Is there something in the standalone features that I need to turn off?

Re: Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I found the problem...in my Indy Version 8.0.0 DP4 there is no image
library under the development menu??

In LC 6.7.6 there is.

So why isn't there one in LC 8.0.0?

Re: Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

No, it would show all the controls a stack has which includes the imported
ones.

When you scrolled through the images it contained the really old Metacard
images.

You can see this when you want to add an image to a button but that is when
you are in the button’s property manager selecting an image.

I was sure there was a view option which allowed you to edit which images
get stored with a stack.

Perhaps asking the question how do you remove an imported image?

Old Rev stack feature / view ...where is it in LC 8

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I have an old rev stack that I had saved images as controls and could
reference them by their ID number and remember that you could bring up all
controls used by rev to see what controls you had saved.

I can't seem to find that anywhere in LC 8?

Re: Regex (matchChunk) help...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi Jerry,

I may be wrong but it looks like your solution assumes that the line has
the beginning and ending I am looking for in the first and last
positions...in my example text that I gave it was all one line and the
string I am looking for is somewhere in the middle. I may not have been
clear but the example text looks like a paragraph with multiple lines but
it is actually a single line and the formatting of it may be deceiving.

Regex (matchChunk) help...

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I have a couple of hundred pages of text where I need to extract out a
different string.

The ending of each string I need has the same endingskyrider1

The beginning of each string is the same   selkirkst

The middle of each string can be any text.

The problem is that within each line where a string exists there are
several strings that have the same beginning selkirkst but none of the have
the correct ending skyrider1.

My thoughts are to find ending of the string first and then work backwards
to the first beginning string.

I created the following example which is gibberish but should make this
clearer... this is the string I want to extract from the line given is
 *selkirkst is
placed in the second **skyrider1*



Use the *selkirkst* function to check whether a *string* contains a
specified pattern. If *selkirkst* includes a pair of parentheses, the
position of the substring matching the part of theregular expression inside
the parentheses is placed in the variables in the *positionVarsList*. The
number of the first character in the matching substring is placed in the
first variable in the positionVarsList, and the number of the last
*selkirkst is
placed in the second **skyrider1*. Additional starting and ending
positions, matching additional parenthetical expressions, are placed in
additional pairs of variables in thepositionVarsList. If the
*selkirkst* function
returns false, the values of the variables in the positionVarsListare not
changed. The string and regularExpression are always case-sensitive,
regardless of the setting of the caseSensitive property. (If you need to
make a case-insensitive comparison, use "(?i)" at the start of the
regularExpression to make the match case-insensitive.)

The next line will not have *is placed in the second*  but some other text
*selkirkst*     *skyrider1*

I am not sure if this explains it well enough but I believe a regex
expression could be used (or perhaps a matchChunk) to extract the correct
string from each line of text.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Graphing widget questions

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Following up from previous suggestions I have looked at the LC Graphing
widget and have a couple of questions in hopes of recommendations.

The widget looks promising but I will be doing a time series graph with
several thousands of points.

- I need to have the number of x-axis labels look reasonable spaced for the
size of graph which means I would want to do a minimum of 10 and a maximum
of 30 labels...not a label for every point. So I want to take the total
time of the data and divide it into 30 blocks of equal time. This means
that the x-axis range still covers the data range but the labels need to be
changed.

Suggestions on the best approach?

- I am not sure if the labels are label fields or actually SVG?

But either way I would need to rotate the text 90 degrees so the 30 labels
would fit...so if SVG (which I think the text is how would I do this). This
would also be useful to know since if the text is SVG then I could add
additional information that would resize nicely.

Or am I going down the "rabbit hole" and this is not easily done?

thanks,

Glen

I updated my system to the following:

Xcode 8.3.3
Livecode Community 8.1.6

I can build an iOS app with no errors BUT when I go to install it on my

*The executable was signed with invalid entitlements*.
The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements
file are invalid, not permitted, or do not match those specified in your

I don't know if this is a bug in LC or an Apple Xcode / Provisioning issue.

Sierra update --> Xcode install --> LC no provisioning profile

Well, as usual, upgrading OS X and doing an install of Xcode causes LC
8.0.01 not to find any provisioning profile and wants iOS 9.3 SDK.

The Xcode shows a 10.3 SDK so now I need to figure out how to add earlier
SDKs...any suggestions on how to go about this?

Or do I need to download Xcode 7.3 which has the iOS 9.3 SDK?

Re: Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

Thanks Steve...it looks like (in my current case) that the encode / decode
SQLite text field is the easiest way to get me solution.

Re: Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

My databases will be fixed in their content (basically they are going to be
different test engines for students) so the images will not be edited nor
changed.

I am thinking that this may help me avoid any future issues that may arise
if different platforms have different directory structures and also for
maintenance ... a single database file is easy to deliver and easy to
delete.

So my next question would be does someone have a simple example stack in
inserting an image and retrieving the image in a LC stack?

Should the image be encoded prior to inserting or is native format fine?

Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I was looking for feedback on whether it is better to store images as BLOBs
in an SQLite database for a LC app or store paths to the images in the
SQLite database and the images in a separate folder.

Any help in understanding possible performance and memory issues is what I
am looking for.

Can I assume that any issues would be the same for both Android and iOS?

thanks,

Glen

Re: Is there Digital Clock Component out there?

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I was maybe over thinking it since I was looking at a series of repeat
loops and implementing mouseclicks for stopping and starting.

Your solution is perfect since it is great for a time card solution and
with a little mod I can make it into a stop watch solution.

Thanks Mike.

Re: iOS SDK Question

Hi James,

Well I saw this in my account...but the license file and online activation
won't work?

So is this telling me I still have valid license for the following versions
but the system won't allow me to install them?

I have tried both the license file which ends up a zero bytes or automatic
licensing where I repeatedly get an error message...

You license allows you access to the following platforms:

Mac valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
Windows valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
Linux valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2
iOS valid from version 5.5.x to version 8.0.2

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hi James, thanks for pointing this to me.

I guess my earlier licenses that I had which do not fall into this category
would be fine though the versions would be quite old.

For example version 4.6 I should be able to do closed source apps still
since the license that came with it at the time did not have this
requirement.

I am not certain about the last version I have installed on my old machine
but I think it was in the 6 series and I bet if I boot up the machine the
software should still work...it's the software that came after my license
expired last year is what will need a new license for to build closed apps?

Again, I should be getting an answer from Livecode support this coming week
to clarify things.

Glen

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

I'm not sure so I am waiting to hear from Livecode support. 

But Pycharm tried a system where users would lose their ability to continually 
use the product after licenses expired and the users revolted and Pycharm 
reversed their policy.

I guess it comes to the question of how you want to work with your user base.

Once I get an answer I will post it here to confirm what the situation is.

Re: iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

As I mentioned previously...I do not have an active subscription.

My license expired August 2016. 

When I log into my account the highest version of Livecode Indy that shows I 
can download is 8.1.3.

I even tried activating a 7 version of Livecode which was a year prior to my 
license expiring and it fails.

But I believe that I should still be able to use the Livecode Indy version that 
was covered prior to expiration. Hence, my email to Livecode support in asking 
what is the highest Livecode version that I can still use.

Re: iOS SDK Question

Hi Paul,
It looks like you are correct and so I have started the massive download.

I assume that once installed I would then do an "add entry" in 
Livecode-->Preferences-->Mobile and select the /Applications/Xcode

This should then find the SDK in the contents of Xcode...

Please let me know if I missed anything.

thanks,

Glen

iOS SDK Question

[Glen Bojsza via use-livecode]

Hello,

I currently have Livecode Indy 8.0.1 and am running on OS X 10.11.5 (El
Capitan) with Xcode Version 8.0 (8A218a).

When I go to generate a standalone I get the following error message:

*In order to perform device builds you need to have iOS 9.3 SDK configured.*
*- iOS  9.3 comes with Xcode 7.3*


How do I find what version of SDK I have and in Livecode Preferences what
is the location I can add the entry for the SDK?

Years ago in Livecode 5 it seemed that Livecode knew all the SDK Versions
available and the preferences reflected this?

regards,

Glen

Conference Videos

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows where (or when) the Conference videos for
the people that subscribed are available for download?

The presentations were released but as far as I can tell the videos have
not and you need to watch them online.

regards,

Glen

How to open an attachment on iOS device in LC App?

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello everyone,

I am still trying to figure out how to open an email attachment on an iPad
/ iPhone by a LC app.

There is an option on an iPad or iPhone to all ow the user to select the
application they want to open an attached file.

Is this a configuration in the iOS Standalone Application Settings? or a
MergExt plugin?

My iOS app reads and updates sqlite database files and I want the users to
be able to share their files via email.

thanks,

Glen

Re: IOS Provisioning Profile... again

What about the LC Standalone iOS settings...in the Basic Application

Re: Open in...

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the info but I was looking for the case where a user sends an
regular email from a computer (say from gmail with an database file
attached).

Another user , on their iPad, reads their mail and clicks on the attachment
to download and then once downloaded the user taps the file and it launches
the possible apps that you can use to open it in.

How do you get a LC app on the list of apps to open the downloaded file?

thanks,

Glen

Open in...

[Glen Bojsza]

There are many iPad apps that when I receive a particular file via email
that I am given a choice which app I can open it with.

My app uses text files and sqlite files and I want the users to be able to
email their files to others.

1. How do you make a LC iOS app so email attachments can be opened?

2. How can you script it so a user can select files on their iOS device and
email them as an attachment?

I was hoping their would be a video tutorial showing these and how an app
can check for updates when opened but I have not found any.

I don't plan to update the app unless new features are added but I do want
to update the text and database files it uses.

Given these questions above are there any constraints on what version of LC
must be used?

thanks,

Glen

You were correct!

Widgets don't show in iOS simulator or on iPad?

[Glen Bojsza]

I have two apps with very similar layouts, groups and widgets.

*System Details*

XCode is Version 6.2 (6C131e)

OS X 10.9.5

LC 8.0.1 Indy

I build for iPad iOS 8.2

One app looks correct with all widgets, fields etc

One app doesn't show any widgets??

Even when I create a new app I can't get the widgets to show any more...why
in the one app they do show I have no idea.

This should be pretty straight forward at this stage of the game but
something is really missing!

Any suggestions?

Alternatives to Option Menu, Pulldown Menu and Combo Box for iOS

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

I wanted to see what everyone is using on iOS in stead of the standard
Option Menu, Pulldown Menu and Combo Box which all show the old Motif style.

Is there something that can be done via SVG or is there any widgets that
replace these.

I am using LC 8.0.1 and need something that looks appropriate in style with
iOS.

Looking for suggestions on how to approach this...

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to cycle through a large list of urls and capture
the home page and the about page (if it exists...some sites don't have one)
using LC 8.

My desired output would be a single pdf file per url.

Is LC 8 a good solution since I will need to do this on a regular basis and
each list may become a couple of thousand urls?

Can revBrowserPrint be used to output a pdf directly?

The ideal solution would be to feed a list of urls and the app would start
working on producing pdfs (using the url excluding the domain as the name
for the pdf).

Any suggestions on this would be great.

thanks,

Glen

Re: OS X - how to write to a file associated as a Unix executable

[Glen Bojsza]

What I am trying to do is within a LC application

1. put field "mytest" into URL "binfile:~/race"

This creates a file called race in the ~/ directory.

The problem is that when you do a chmod +rw race the file is still
recognized as textedit file and NOT a UNIX executable.

When you look at a file created with LC and chmod  verses a file created
with textmate and chmod you can see the differences in the finder or get
info on both files and see the difference.

Re: OS X - how to write to a file associated as a Unix executable

[Glen Bojsza]

This only works IF the file created is associated with the terminal
application.

The issue is creating the proper file format so when the chmod creates it
as Unix executable.

OS X - how to write to a file associated as a Unix executable

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

I am trying to write the from a text field to a file and then change the
file so it is executable.

put field "mytest" into URL "binfile:~/race"
or
put field "mytest" into URL "file:~/race"

The file race is created in either case but are associated with textedit.

I require it to be recognized as a Unix executable associated with the
terminal application once I have done a chmod +rx on it

If I just save a file from textmate and do a chmod +rx then it works.

So it has to do with how I am saving it out of LC.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

LC 8 hard question...

[Glen Bojsza]

After reviewing all the previous releases of Livecode I am trying to
determine when LC 8 will start getting to RC and then how long from there
to stable.

My question is hard since there is no true and fast answer on how the
development goes ...anything can cause it to derail.

But does anybody think it is reasonable to get to a stable release by July
this year?

My license expires in August and I would hope with the amount of time that
has passed and up to then that I would get a stable release of LC 8 before
my license expires.

Or I am expecting too much?

Running Processes in the background

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

Are there any examples of how to run a process in the background in an
application?

I need to have two timer processes run when the user is using the
application.

The processes need to check for certain trigger values every

- 1 minute

- 10 minutes

If the trigger value(s) exist then the application takes the user to a
different part in the application.

Everything I have read is that LC is not multithreaded but there is a way
to generate these as loops that can check for these values?

Any direction or examples are appreciated.

HTML5 product

[Glen Bojsza]

I was wondering if anyone knows the current state of the HTML5 product that
is being sold.

My concern is that if I buy a 1 year license and it needs so many releases
before it is developed well enough to deploy than am I buying too early?

When the product site has "Are there limitations to HTML5 deployment?" then
this seems to be a red flag to me...is there a list of the limitations? Is
datagrid supported?

Is HTML5 part of the community code base or is it only commercial? I
remember that you could only try HTML5 with the community version of LC so
can I assume that it is part of the community version still?

Can anyone share their current recent experiences with HTML5 so I can make
a better decision.

thanks,

Glen

In creating an in memory database can you create one with a name?

Re: SQLite: how to open existing database in memory

[Glen Bojsza]

Essentially, I want to keep the database in its original form / content.

While the user is running the app I want to be able to make changes to the
database knowing that the changes are done in memory and will not be
written to the original database.

I could duplicate the database to a folder on the disk and then later
remove it but if I can do it just in memory and it automatically cleans out
after the user quits the app then it would be more convenient.

For example, if I don't the user to be able to look into the database
(which I believe can be done if it is written to disk) using in memory
would be the way to go...true?

SQLite: how to open existing database in memory

[Glen Bojsza]

I am trying to open an existing SQLite database in memory.

When I do this (or think I do this) I get a database connection ID but the
it errors out when I try just to show the current data?

On OS X Mavericks LC 8 DP4

*on* mouseUp

   *put* "/Users/Dev/Documents/Ratings.db3:memory:" into tDatabasePath

   *put* revOpenDatabase("sqlite", tDatabasePath, , , , ) into tDatabaseID

   *put* "Connection = " & tDatabaseID  -- if I get an integer then a
database connection has been made

   *put "SELECT * from Movies" into tSQL*

   *put* revDataFromQuery(tab,*return*,tDatabaseID,tSQL) into myresults

   *put* myresults

   revCloseDataBase tDatabaseID

*end* mouseUp


My output:

Connection = 1 (shows I have a database connection)

revdberr,Database Error: no such table: Movies


Any suggestions?

thanks,

Glen

Re: SQLite: how to open existing database in memory

[Glen Bojsza]

I think we have a disconnect...

I want to open an existing database but in memory.

You are saying that I opened a new database in memory but need to create
tables in it.

So I guess the question is better put:

Can you open an existing base in memory if so how?

If you can't open an existing database in memory then if you create a new
one in memory can you copy the tables from an existing one into the
database that is in memory?

Re: iPad File structure question

[Glen Bojsza]

This must be how a lot of the other apps are doing it since I have seen
their SQLite files in their app contents.

I am only doing read only and was hoping that this be fine but your
suggestions are well taken.

What is the syntax for copying the file from the engine's folder?

Also any idea why I can't select Script Libraries for database and Database
Support for SQLite?

Re: iPad File structure question

[Glen Bojsza]

Well I am behind when learning to make an iPad app... the SQLite is also a
checkbox in iOS Standalone settings (I see nothing about database libraries
so I assume LC 8 handles this in the background)

Also, the "engine's folder" may work since I would load the database in
memory while the app is running alternatively I can put them in the cache
or Documents folder as suggested.

I am on LC 8.0 (DP4) Indy

The following is the error messages when I use the extension builder and
run Test


Error: Could not compile module
/Users/livecode-extension-master/widget_helpers

I would like to install the tabbed widget Trevor made and it looks like it
requires widget helpers module to be installed first?

Does anybody have the steps necessary to install Trevor's widgets?

Is there additional environment settings that need to be done beyond just
the standard LC install?

thanks,

Glen

It has been two weeks and I still haven't seen a response?

Buttons, buttons...who has the buttons

[Glen Bojsza]

Or better question when will the button and field components from earlier
versions of LC be available as SVG widgets in LC 8 and beyond.

Is there any place someone can recommend to get SVG widgets for:

default button
option menu
pulldown menu
combo menu
popup menu

Trevor's webinar showed some really nice buttons but they are proprietary
and not available.

If someone could make a bundle and put into the LC store I would be
interested.

thanks,

Glen

I would assume that the Livecode team is already aware of this and has a
delivery plan without it they wouldn't be able to claim to be able to make
iOS apps.

True? Not True?

Kevin can maybe comment.

LC 8 (DP4) widgets

[Glen Bojsza]

I have just started to play with LC widgets and have couple of questions.

1. for the widget selector is there an easy way to make the choices
vertical and not horizontal (I thought I saw this done in a earlier video)?

2. None of the widgets show when I generate an iOS app (not on the iPad or
the simulator).

Is there a problem using widgets for creating iOS apps?

I am on OS X Mavericks, Xcode 6.2, LC 8.0 DP4
target iPad is 8.4.1

Again, I am just trying to build my first iPad app so I may be behind on
where things stand with LC.

thanks,

Glen

Thanks Ali, that got it going.

I also wonder why the background in LC seems white but on the simulator and
iPad itself the background is grey?

Re: LC 8 (DP4) widgets

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Scott,

I did this but an error is constantly generated.

stack "com.livecode.pi.color.behavior":execution error at line 17
(extension:error occurred with domain) near "runtime", char 1

here is the offending line

 *set* the swatchcolor of control 1 of me to item 1 to 3 of tValue
So for now I will just use a white filled graphic.

Not sure if you have seen a similar error?

Re: LC 8 (DP4) widgets

[Glen Bojsza]

I did mean the card or stack background and that is why the error seems
confusing.

Here is what I did in the message box

set the backcolor of stack t1 to white

I deleted the stack and started fresh and it seemed to solve the issue...so
everything is fine now.

Thanks for the follow up.

Re: LC 8 (DP4) widgets

[Glen Bojsza]

Yes because this issue just occurred again.

I start a new stack
 set the backcolor of the stack to white (save and check in the simulator
and on the iPad...looks fine)

add a widget (sgvpath one)

Error messages start again.

Xcode Organizer

[Glen Bojsza]

I was hoping  someone can explain if the Xcode Organizer for Xcode Version
6.4 (6E35b) is working properly since it shows only a Window with two tabs
"Archives" and "Crashes".

For all the documentation and LC videos I have seen the window should show
my device and how to allow it for development etc.

I am just starting today on trying to build an iPad app and what I have
found is that almost all LC reference material seems dated and doesn't
reflect what I should be seeing...or is just me?

When I generate a standalone I get an error of "Could not find a valid
identity to use for the selected profile"

I am on OS X 10.10.2

Any direction towards the steps I may be missing would be appreciated.

regards,

Glen

Re: Xcode Organizer

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Ralph,

This really helped ...the refresh icon generated several files.

I still cannot drag the app on the device (or any of the simulators) in
Xcode?

>From the notes I saw earlier I should have an option to select the device
and do "Use for Development"?

This doesn't seem to exist in the newer versions of Xcode...

I just need to be able to load this on my iPad to test but looking for
notes seem to be outdated?

Again, thanks for getting me this far.

Re: Xcode Organizer

[Glen Bojsza]

Thanks to both Panos and Ralph.

I was able to get a very basic app (one button & one field) on the iPad so
success.

Now comes the "make it pretty" because currently things look like 20 years
ago done in visual basic or worse.

Any suggestions on better looking components? I saw MobGUI but there is
some question on it still being actively supported?
