LiveCode with Balsamiq?

Yes I looked at it. I don't have useful code. In the end I decided not to, as it seemed more useful to create a similar effect within Livecode, than to require people to use a paid for tool. I would however be very interested in keeping in touch and perhaps contributing to any such tool. On

When in the design process… I frequently want to sync all the buttons on the UI (or fields) to a new size, color, look and feel etc. Is there a way to do this with behaviors, such that the parent button’s props are automatically passed to all buttons on the UI? How are you doing this,

"Automatically" meaning that assigning your behavior to the control is all that is needed to theme it. You still need to loop through the controls on the card/in the stack and apply your custom property (setProp). Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On
