Hi Sam and Alex et al,
Though I didn't follow all previous your discussions, the following snippet
seems to work well on my Windows XP with Shoes 2. ;-)
Shoes.app do
stack :height => 100, :top => 0 do
background red
end
stack :height => 100, :bottom => 0 do
background blue
end
end
Hope I didn't misunderstand,
ashbb
