palette above mainstack only SOLVED

Post by jmburnod » Tue Dec 16, 2014 2:15 pm

Hi All,
Long time I didn't use substack like palette.
I don't remember if it is possible to have a substack only above the mainstack.
I tried systemwindow = true but as the dictionary said:
If the systemWindow is true, the window floats above all running applications
Is there a way to do that or I dreamed it ? :roll:
Best regards
Jean-Marc

Hi John,
And thanks one more
What else would it be, Jean-Marc ?...
Exactly. :D
I forgot palette also is a command. I thought that was by the stack style properties

Code: Select all

set the style of stack MyStack" to "palette"
Best regards

Both the command and stack property should work. The difference is that the stack property is a persistent setting, so if you use "open stack <stackname>" it should then open as palette; the command form only affects the stack mode until it's closed.
