Normal stack windows don't (although you can take a scrreen capture of a chunk of the lines, import it as an image and set the backgroundPattern of the window to the image to fake it).

More interesting for me was the fact that on OSX, setting the stack's style to modeless causes it to show Aqua stripped lines in the background. I must have missed this one on the list...

Re: Window decorations in OSX
For reference, here's what you get in OS X for the various decorations properties (note that the "other" buttons are not invisible, they are just shown disabled): 'title' = minimize only 'minimize' = minimize only 'maximize' = minimize and maximize 'menu' = minimize only 'default' = minimize, maximize, and close 'none' = minimize only "" or 'empty' = no title bar or window borders This brings up a question... I was opening substacks as modeLess, setting the decorations to "title,minimize,maximize,menu" and none of the stacks had a close box in the upper left corner. I had to switch to setting the decorations to "default".

Re: Window decorations in OSX
Shari, The lookAndFeel only applies to the *content* of windows, not the window decorations themselves. So if someone is running an app with the lookAndFeel set to "Macintosh" in OSX, they should see the three jelly bean buttons in a titlebar that is an "OS X" titlebar. The only time they wouldn't see the jelly beans would be if you set the decorations of the window. For reference, here's what you get in OS X for the various decorations properties (note that the "other" buttons are not invisible, they are just shown disabled): 'title' = minimize only 'minimize' = minimize only 'maximize' = minimize and maximize 'menu' = minimize only 'default' = minimize, maximize, and close 'none' = minimize only "" or 'empty' = no title bar or window borders Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ - Original Message - From: "Shari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 10:07 AM Subject: Window decorations in OSX > One of my OSX beta testers mentioned that the red close button was > missing.

Do they exist in Metacard? And if not, is there any way to create them? They are drawn by the OS, and until you install OS X you won't see them. They are there though. The red one is is the close box. If you have set the decorations of your stack to any type that does not include a close box, the red button will be disabled. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
