A. I develop an app for WIN and MAC. I do want them to look the same on both, so much so that I created my own tab object which uses the tab widget but also transparent buttons in front of each tab because I want drag drop functionality in the tabs, and widgets do not listen for those messages. I also have a set of fonts I use so that I can maintain some kind of consistency between platforms, although in the process I discovered like many others that the same font renders differently across platforms. That sucks royally, but I understand it’s not something Livecode can do anything about without kludging.
