Show and hide Menubar

Post by oblente » Wed Aug 03, 2016 10:34 am

I just opened LiveCode and it looks great :- ) I checked out some things on the Menubar and eventually closed it.
And gone it is!
All of a sudden I realize how much stuff is incorporated in this valuable Menubar!
How do I get it back?

Hi oblente,

1. welcome to the forum! :D
2. On a Mac or Windows?
On a Mac you can use the Mac menubar and select -> Menu: View -> Toolbar Text and/or Toolbar Icons
That should make the menubar appear again!

Now I reinstalled LiveCode. But I presume there is a better way?

Yes, there is a quicker way.

I don't understand how you can close the revMenubar on Windows and keep the rest of the Livecode IDE open.

My experience, both on Windows and Linux has been that if one closes the revMenubar stack one exits
the whole thing.

Just poke around in the Applications installed on your Windows system from the START menu and get it going again.

what Richmond said! Sorry, don't have a Win PC at hand.
Sure, you just did not quit (= closing the menubar) Livecode?

At least I couldn't make it appear again.
Ok, I will test it out. Simple to reinstall :- )
