Yes, it was the “native” one. I caused the error which I saw by creating an infinite loop. I did not realise that the ‘hiliteChanged’ message is sent after the graphic representation of the switch has been changed within the widget itself, so I scripted: on hiliteChanged set the highl

I’ve got ‘Switch Button’ and a ‘Native Switch Button’ in the LC toolbox. Not sure which one you are talking about. The second one came with the widget set I bought, I think. Anyway it has caused me a lot of trouble with the iOS simulator, but that may be because the environment I’m working in i

The one I mean is actually a widget but we're probably talking about the same thing. I like it because you can set the theme and it displays correctly for either iOS or Android. I'd love to see more themed widgets like that, maybe a mobileButton widget for example. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay

Well, looking at my iPhone, there are many many designs for apps, but there are very often (OK, not always) tidy little icons which lead to settings/preferences or give information, or make it clear that you can close something. I don’t know if my finger uses them as buttons exactly, but I find

Yes, I was probably quite hasty paying for it - if it’s in beta still after two years, it looks kind of abandoned. I would certainly say it looks unfinished, even though the individual widgets are described in the LC dictionary. And in my environment, which is not new but not that old, the switc
