I see where you are coming from now. I always think of it as: a group with background behavior is a shared group that is only placed on one card. This probably stems from my HC experience, where 1-card backgrounds are very common. On 3/1/04 11:08 PM, Dar Scott wrote: On Monday, March 1, 2004,

I'm afraid it wasn't clear to me from the docs that images were shared Steve, In my experience, an image is shared if it's part of a group with background behavior set to true, but local if simply placed on a card. This will also be true of the icon of a button in a background group; but it's f

Steve, Uncheck the background behavior for that group. It is shared on all card if checked. If you need a backrgound group and an image then make two one with BG on and the other with BG off. HTH TOm On Feb 29, 2004, at 8:51 AM, Stephen King wrote: Hi all, I'm sure this is really simple, b
