Thanks, I'll take your advice and study transcript more deeply. Do you think
the "Software at the Speed of Thought" book would help in this regard?
Also, could you give specifics as to how one creates a palette in rev? Is it
really like creating any other application?
Thanks,
Oakes

Hello Oakes,
I made my own tools palette for in the Rev IDE. It contains many small
script that I use every day. Since it is for my own use, I didn't add any
fancy graphics. Just a few buttons with cryptic names.
If you are a true newbie, I'd just start learning the scripting language
before trying to make a tools palette. It is nice if you can build an
interface with buttons and graphics, but it is useless if you haven't
learnt how to bring it alive, yet.
Now, if I haven't convinced you yet... Sure, you can use any graphics
programme to create icons for your tools palette. Anything from ColorIt! to
PhotoShop will do.
First set up your tools palette with the buttons and scripts you need. Then
design at least two icons for each tool. Save the icons and import them all
into the mainstack of your project. Now you can set the icon of each
button. Set the hiliteIcon of each button to a slightly darker version of
the icon.
If you want you can also set the style of a tool to checkbox and use a
different icon for the armed state (set the showName to false). That gives
a useful effect.
That's it.

program to draw the objects and such.
