I have always resisted the idea of sub-dividing this list for a
number of reasons. But as Rev gets more popular, as this list grows
in population and as people like me continue to see this list as a
place to discuss topics that are arguably semi-tangential, perhaps
some reorganization would help.
I generally try to put a [OT] in front of the subject line when I
post something that's even possibly marginally off-topic. You can use
your email app's filter functions to bury those kinds of
conversations before they hit your In Box. I've been involved in some
lists where the user community simply adopted a convention like that
so that categorizing messages was up to the individual who initiates
a thread. Such systems work OK but not perfectly because newbies
don't always get the clue right away and because some posts are hard
to categorize.
Using an email app that lets you view emails by threads can go a long
way toward relieving the glut, BTW. Combining that tactic with
filtering can significantly reduce the number of emails that you
actually have to read.

Hello,
I must say I am also somewhat overwhelmed with the flood of
messages (114 today, over 2000 in the last two months). I know
there is a parallel list regarding externals, which seams to be
dormant (or dead?), but is there probably a sensible way to
separate the list into different topics, like
- technical questions
- Revolution company related
- (assumed) bugs
- xTalk philosophy
(there must be better categories)?
But in any case, being fairly new to Revolution (Dreamcard) and
interested in external functions and commands, I would find more
structure and a separation really helpful.
All the best
Thomas

I want to keep following this list. But, my inbox is getting
blasted pretty good.
Are there any other options for following this list, other than e-
mail? Is this
shadowed to a forum anywhere? Thanks.

Um, actually, foregroundcolor controls both text and border color.
bordercolor only works on buttons and scrollbars according to the
docs.

Hello list,
I wanted to make a green rect with a red edge, so I wrote
create invisible graphic
set the style of it to rectangle
set the rect of it to 20,20,50,50
set the foregroundcolor of it to 255,0,0 --RGB_Color
set the backgroundcolor of it to 0,255,0 --RGB_Color
set the linesize of it to 2
show it
I got a white rect with a red edge. Why?
I'm not sure, because the "foregroundcolor" controls the text
color, not the border. If this wasn't a typo, then set the
"bordercolor" instead.
Also, do the opaque thing like others have suggested.
