Peter, You can define your own plugins folder and install DGH (or other plugins) in it with no problem of permissions. Follow these steps: 1) Create a folder in your disk to install additional LC stuff. For example a folder "My_LiveCode" located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode 2) Check your LC preferences. In the "Files & memory" tab, you have the path for "User extensions". Select the folder you created in step 1). You should obtain something like: home/theslug/My_LiveCode 3) Quit LC 4) In the home/theslug/My_LiveCode folder, create a new folder named: Plugins (this name is case sensitive, so be sure to have P in uppercase) 5) Copy DGH in the Plugins folder located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode/Plugins 6) Launch LC. DGH should ask for an update 7) Confirm the update. All should be working as expected.

Re: LiveCode Linux version: graphic effects issue with the name of a push button
Zryip, another thing which is probably a Linux peculiarity, the DGH is asking should it do an upgrade. So you say yes, but then it can't open the file. Its probably permissions. The LC app is installed into /opt, and of course the user does not have write permissions in /opt, which is what the DGH will require. I'll have to try it as root but that's almost certainly what it is. No longer recall exactly how I got it to install in the first place, it was probably by copying into plug-ins as root. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/LiveCode-Linux-version-graphic-effects-issue-with-the-name-of-a-push-button-tp3021185p3022209.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Thanks for the suggestion. Another solution could consist to have a field with the name over the opaque button itself. After several tests I obtained the effect I expected for the three platforms. This is something to take in care for cross-platform projects. Thanks.

Re: LiveCode Linux version: graphic effects issue with the name of a push button
Yes, I get this too. Always assumed it was a feature, just the way it works. How are you modifying the button graphic? What I have done is underlay a graphic with a transparent button not showing its name, but you'll have thought of that.

LiveCode Linux version: graphic effects issue with the name of a push button
Dear LC users, For the first time, I gave a try to the linux version of LiveCode (4.5.0). When I apply any graphic effect on a push button with the inspector, the name of the button disappears. What I'm doing wrong? (the showname property is well set to true) Thanks for any help.
