Contextual menus not working for me either... but for years I have put
toggles on palette windows during dev... this works great: make it a
check box btn ( if you want to see it) or make it transparent,
borderless, nameless btn in some location you can remember (if you
don't like to see it on the interface... later if you forget you can
find it in the application overview)
on mouseup
if the mode of this stack is 4 then
toplevel this stack
else
palette this stack
end if
end mouseup
or "remotely" from another stack, say stack "Dev Tools" which has a
button:
"Edit Favorites Window"
on mouseup
if the mode of stack "Favorites" is 4 then
toplevel stack "Favorites" ## allows editing
else
palette stack "Favorites" ## restore to palette
end if
end mouseup
