I'm using Dreamcard in Windows XP, and have been trying the
various options
under "Look and Feel" in the "View" menu. I'm not sure what some
of the
options are supposed to look like, but I'm not really seeing much
difference after
choosing "Mac OS Platinum Emulated."
Am I not understanding what this menu option is supposed to do? Is it
supposed to cause my project to take on a Mac-like appearance, so I
can make sure
my cross-platform visual design bases are covered? The only
difference I see
is a slight 3D-ing of the edges of some of the controls. Does this
sound
right? Shouldn't it be a much more drastic difference?
This particular option is to make your stacks look as if they were
running under Mac OS 9 or earlier, not Mac OS X. You are right, it is
just to help you check the look when doing cross-platform
development, but it is not terribly useful. If possible, always check
your apps on the actual release platforms. If you can't get access to
the right sort of computer, ask the list for volunteers.
I'm also not clear on what the "Metal texture" checkbox in the stack
inspector is supposed to be doing -- it just flashes the project's
window, but
doesn't seem to change anything, that I can see. What effect is it
supposed to
have?
This is Mac OS X only, it has no effect on Windows, although I guess
setting it will redraw the window.
HTH,
Sarah
