Why is everything in the IDE so tiny?

I used Livecode a lot about 6 years ago, and have recently started playing around again. I know a lot of features have been added under the hood, but the IDE is really disappointing. I'm using a *much* larger screen (34" diameter), and find that virtually everything in the IDE, but especially the

Rotate around Center of Mass

Is there a way to rotate an image around it's center of mass? I teach statistics, and one of the definitions of the mean is that it is the balance point of a distribution. I'd like to actually show a distribution "balancing" back and forth, or actually spinning around its mean. But, if I ta

Re: Confirming an FTP Upload

Stephen, That's true, and I probably should have mentioned that. For my purposes, it's irrelevant, because my research data (indeed the entire "site") is all just a bunch of meaningless numbers that nobody would have any interest in. But for the rest of you out in the real world, caveat emptor.

I'm not sure if I would consider this a strict adherence issue though. It seems to me that if I try to change the name of something, no matter how trivial the change, the IDE should accept that. For the IDE to (implicitly) say big C is no different than little c and then refuse to accept my chan
