Choice number 4 sounds like the best, though a hack in MetaCard
itself really doesn't sound too appealing... I suppose you could make
it work more elegantly in the next release you make where the file
format changes. For now, though, setting the focusColor of an object
to "none" or "transparent" would be as good of a workaround as any,
I'd say.
And wow, this whole thread is amazing:
Company: "We've given you a new feature."
Users: "We don't quite like it, it's not exactly perfect, change it."
Company: "How?"
Users: "Like this."
Company: "Okay, done and done."
You don't get service like this anywhere else! Thanks so much Scott :-)
