I think you can only put other Text Elements (text stuff) in paras; look at
the weird stuff that happens here when you try to give a TextBlock to a
TextBlock:
Shoes.app do
para "123", para("456")
end
I bet Hackety Hack just uses flows with a set width; here's my attempt at
recreating a button (the events seem a little slower tho):
Shoes.app do
background "#E9EFE0"
@button = flow :width => 50, :top => 10, :left => 10 do
background '#DDD', :curve => 5, :height => 28
@save = para "Save", :stroke => '#767676'
hover { @save.size = 14; @save.weight = 'semibold'; @button.width = 55 }
leave { @save.size = 13; @save.weight = 'normal'; @button.width = 50 }
end
end
