Full stack width menu

Post by p4tr1ck » Sat Oct 30, 2010 10:16 pm

I've noticed that on windows, the menu bar at the top of a stack doesn't go the full length of the stack. I know it is possible to do this because it is used on the script editor. I looked at the source of the script editor and I couldn't find anything...
Also, I've gotten a solution before, but it did some tricks and it didn't look like the authentic windows menu bar.
How is this done?

Hi p4trick,

Just make sure that the width of the menubar group equals the width of the card + 2 and set the topleft of the group to -1,0.

Best,

Ah, I didn't think to use a group. Thanks. :)

p4trick,

The menubar is a group.
