Hi,

I was wondering whether there is any way in Revolution to show text on the dock icon in Mac OS X? I'm updating my Stock Portfolio program and one of the neat features that has been suggested is the ability to see (say) the current value of your portfolio on the dock icon. Since it is very platform specific, I wasn't sure whether Revolution could do it...

Yes, you should be able to do it. Revolution has a global property called the "icon" which, if set, specifies the icon that is displayed in the OS X dock. You could write a script that takes a snapshot of a small image containing the text you want to show, and then set the icon to the id of that image. If you do this repeatedly using a "send in <time>" structure, the icon would update dynamically.
