What happens when you move that untitled stack off screen a bit? From that picture, it looks like it is full screen.

Couple of suggestions would be -
. move that stack
. if you have the menubar available, go to messagebox and type
set the loc of stack "revTools" to (100,100)
. check to make sure the tools palette is actually checked to be shown, under [Tools -> Tool Palette] menu.

Off the top of my head, that is all I can think of.

Hi.

These are all stacks. The menuBar is stack "revMenuBar". You can set its loc just as Bogs mentioned for the revTools stack.

But do let us know how this resolves.

I am sure that this devolves to the OP having a stack at full-screen, so:

1. Did you set that stack to full-screen?

2. If you didn't, did that just start like that when you chose File/New Stack?

And you don't see it when you follow the first step?

If you don't see the message box on windows, you can always use this keyboard combo -
Open/close message box = [ctrl + m]

Which new design is that?

The IDE's design has been fairly consistent since about version 3.0

I wonder whether you have ever had an additional monitor connected and the IDE stacks have defaulted to the other screen coordinates. Or the default locations have just got corrupted. Perhaps try closing LiveCode, deleting the "Preferences" stack and reopening LiveCode. That should recreate a new Preferences stack with defaults, including locations.

Try Ctrl-M . . .

If you are in a hurry, you can also use:

Code: Select all

set the loc of stack "revMenuBar" to the screenloc
:D
