iPad app problems.

Hi,
I have only been trying out the Livecode demo for a few hours and have a couple of questions:

1) If I am creating an app for the iPad (landscape only), what size Main Stack should I create - If I create it at 1024 x 768, surely it would become distorted if viewed on the NEW iPad with Retina display?

2) When I add buttons onto the stack and then test it in the iPad simulator - the buttons are an ugly square grey colour, and not like the default iPad buttons. Do I have to purchase the default iOS GUI elements from somewhere?

Thank you all in advance for any help / advice.

Hello RecSum

So far I've only made iPad apps using the 1024x768 dimensions. The apps scale up well.

The native look and feel only really works for Windows and Mac. You'll need to get third party programs or live code apps/plugins to get native iOS feel... or, go your own way and use your own art... that's the path I've taken.

be well,

Thanks - I have just noticed MobGui, which I guess I will also need to purchase.
