Only after Livecode 10

When macOS went from 10,x to 11 the "modern" window was introduced without a grey titlebar

Then it is up to us, the developers, to provide this functionality somehow, if neccessary.

Go to first post in this thread, Klaus

macOS 13.8

Modern windows no longer have the top bar

I you choose to have no topbar you also loose window controls and rounded corners

Thank you Klaus

Hi again

I possible, could anybody be kind and give me an example of this?

Thanks
Mic

You mean you want your LC app to stay in the menu bar or better said you want your LC app to display a menu in the status bar on Mac?

If that's the question then yes. ;)

Have a look at 'mac status menu' in the dictionary.


Thank you matthiasr, but the dictionary is not very helpful. Could you ...

Hi

The topic says it all:

Can a livecode app be a menuitem app on Mac?

Thanks
Mic
