Livecode 7 and skinning controls

Post by jalz » Thu Dec 04, 2014 11:49 pm

Hey all,

I'm looking at experimenting with Livecode 7. I have a specific interface in mind, fields with rounded corners etc. I believe I can apply a 'skin' to the text entry field object but I also use objects like the option/pull down menus as well as the datagrid. Is it possible to to skin those objects so they look good on both PC/Mac.

Are there any decent themes out there currently skin all the objects for LiveCode 7?

thanks as always

The best way is to create a graphic and adding the messages as any other control for example this is a simple rounded rectangle:

I just played with the effects in the Property inspector.
