Probably too off-topic for this list, but that sounds like a story worth
hearing. Perhaps over a beer after the madness ends and travel resumes...

Hi all.
I would LOVE to find out how Livecode for Mac draws those beautiful tab buttons
so I can duplicate it on Windows, because DAYAM are the Windows ones ugly!

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)
in Livecode follows the way
Apple does it now.

Except when the window is inactive the colours of the tab are not dimmed.
Is it expected in LiveCode that you disable the tabbed control?

In addition the text in the button is offset far to much towards the bottom of
the tab.
There is a bug report for this one but it has not been incorporated into the

It’s very interesting because Safari, Firefox, Excell, most Mac applications
have lighter colored tabs for the active tab. The tabs in the Systems
Preferences work so the darker tab is the active one. Seems, with Safari at
least, Apple is inconsistent.

I am getting confused with darker tab is the active one”.
In system preferences/Desktop Screen Saver as an example.
If you click on the Screen Saver Tab:
1. The text of the Screen Saver Tab is white and it’s background is blue.

Folks:
On a Mac, when there are tabs, the active tab is hilited and the inactive tabs
are greyed out. I’ve seen postings on this previously and figured the situation
was fixed. But, not so in LC V7.0.1(rc3) on Mavericks.
This seems to be a bug that should be fixed. It’s simply backwards from

there was discussion about the color of the text on the buttons, but this seems
like a big bug to me. The active tab should be lighter, while the inactive tabs

Comments before I submit a bug
A silly question.
If you go to a cd with a tab button
tab 1 = cd 1
tab 2 = cd 2
tab 3 = cd 3
cd 4 = does not have a tab button
and tab 2 was hilited with cd 2 showing and you then went to cd 4
If you now go to cd 1 from cd 4 (does not have a tab button)
how do you hilite tab 1?
Is there
Hi Terence,
There are several ways to do this, e.g.
select line (the number of this cd) of btn My Tab Button
or
set the menuHistory of btn My Tab Button to the number of this cd

Thanks Mark,
Found menuHistory just before your post.
A strange property name.

Terry,
The menuHistory is the last menu item selected by the user. Hence
history. Thus far, it isn't a very strange name. This property just
happens to be modifiable by script.

On Mac I can set a background pattern on a tab button. I can also make
the tab button non-opaque so a card image shows through. I can't do
either of those on a Windows tab button, which seems to always be opaque
and never accepts a background pattern.
Has anyone found a way to trick the
a background pattern.
Has anyone found a way to trick the system into showing a pattern?
Tab buttons on Windows *do* accept background patterns, and you can
change the blending level.
Tab buttons on linux *do not* accept background patterns or colors,
but you can set the blending level.
You can set

Thanks Mark. When I set the backpattern of a Windows tab button, nothing
happens. I have
control for tab buttons on the property editor.

Right, I set the opaque with the message box, just in case it mattered.
We're using the same OS and the same LiveCode version so I'm not sure
what's going on. The pattern shows up fine on my Mac. Maybe I'll just

Yes you can. I didn't import an image, just used some of the built-in

What emulator do you use again? Richard likes it. Maybe I should try
