Re: Test Icon Stays in Greyed Out Mode..
Hello 'Stuck in Lousiana USA'
The Test button is ONLY for testing a stack that is being built for iOS (where it will start the iOS simulator - borrowed from Xcode) or for Android (where it will start the Android Emulator - borrowed from the Android SDK). And the Test button/icom will ONLY show non-grey when the relevant tools (Xcode or Android SDK) have been in installed on your machine AND Livecode has been 'pointed' at them (via LiveCode's preferences panel)
So, if you are building for Mac, Windows or Linux you can't used the Test button/icon as it is for a different platform - all you need to do to 'run' your stack is to click the left-hand browse button (the one that looks like a mouse arrow without an accompanying plus-sign). The lesson at the end of the following link takes you through the process.

If on the other hand you are building for iOS or Android you need to have a look at these lessons which will explain what to do to set things up so you can test in iOS or Android
