Thanks Martin - yes I do have a Mac Book Pro Retina, and since it’s normally on my desk with the monitor on a stand, the monitor is above the MacBook as you say. My search for bugs related to this didn’t turn up anything relevant: maybe I don’t understand how to do searches for unresolved bugs

Sorry this is a bit long, but it needs an accurate description IMHO. I’ve already submitted a bug report on some strangeness with using the IDE with LC9.0.0 (dp11) on a two-screen system, with the suspicion that it was me doing something wrong - it was just very muddling. However, today I seem

A little Levure-oriented question

I’m following the Levure discussion and of course Trevor's pronouncements with great interest. One thing strikes me - is there really a universally understood meaning to the term “UI stack”? I do understand the concept of separating the UI from the logic of an app, but any UI must contain

I’m developing a very simple uninstaller for a Mac app. I have an installer, thanks to DropDMG. The uninstallation process isn’t difficult - it’s just a matter of deleting all the involved files (some are slightly tricky to find, like dock aliases, but I guess there’s a way around that). But
