'Stretch' is as stretch does. The word implies all sorts of things:
1. Attaining those goals can be stretched for quite some time.
2. 'Stretching the truth' is a nifty phrase.
3. Remember those Physics lessons and Hooke's law?
ALSO:
If you go back and look at the Kickstarter goals ('goals' as in 'goals',
let alone 'stretch goals')
you will see that there is quite some time to go before those have all
been implemented.
One of the most interesting (and the most contentious as far as I am
concerned) is a
new GUI . . . although I notice nothing has been said about that
subsequently: whether
quietly dropped or shelved indefinitely, who knows.
In fact, if I am really honest I would be very happy if RunRev could
give us some sort of
GANTT chart-like thing with all those Kickstarter goals and stretch
goals so we could have
some idea as to when (relatively speaking) we could expect some of them
to be implemented.
-
I would hope that your scepticism is caused by the lack of complete
openness in RunRev's
part re attaining those goals, rather than their having dropped and/or
adjusted some of them
post the Kickstarter campaign without telling the investors why.

Re: LiveCode 6.6.1 RC1
When can Mac Users have a Tab Panel that does not display the selected tab with black text on a dark grey background? I am a new user of LC and find this rather off-putting. I believe, not 100% sure, that this has been requested 2 years ago? Thanks Terry On 31 Mar 2014, at 18:47, Benjamin Beaumont b...@runrev.com wrote: Dear List Members.

Create beautiful OS X apps that get all little user interface details spot on. Point taken. But there are lots of reasons to upgrade to Cocoa, native controls is only one of them. The LiveCode team seem to be focusing on the under-the-hood stuff for now. From the release notes: • Allow embedding of native 'NSViews' into LiveCode windows (in particular, browser controls). • Enable submission of LiveCode apps to the Mac AppStore. • Enable eventual building of 64-bit versions of LiveCode for Mac. The point of theme support, on the other hand, is pretty narrow--allow developers to create exactly the look and feel they want. RunRev are still in the early stages of implementing some of these stretch goals. I wouldn't give up pushing for native Cocoa controls.
