Re: Release: LiveCode 8.0.0 DP 2
I like to use a backdrop in the IDE to eliminate distractions. So I type set backDrop to gray in the message box. When I quit and reopen LiveCode, the backdrop defaults to black. It used to retain the last backdrop color that was set. ~Roger On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 12:31 PM, Ali Lloyd a...@runrev.com wrote: Dear list members, We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 2.

Re: Release: LiveCode 8.0.0 DP 2
Hi Klaus, As Roger noticed, the icon picker widget is meant to be used with the LCB syntax popup widget to return the name of an icon, whose SVG path can then be obtained using the iconSVGPathFromName function in the iconSVG library. It is not particularly useful as a widget in its own right, except for seeing what icons are available (essentially just fontawesome). The Navigation Bar widget is in something of an experimental state, whereby it has an editMode property - when true you can click on the icons and change them, and add a 'nav item', and then with editMode false it changes to a more user-oriented display. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
