My new windowshade control does almost all its work through the  
setting of custom properties. It makes linguistic sense to do it that  
way:

set the paneTitles of group "myWindowshade" to tSomeList

makes more sense than

send (setPanetitles && tSomeList) to group "myWindowshade"


The latest version of the windowshade control is at:

go stack url "http://www.inspiredlogic.com/windowshade/ 
windowshadecc.rev"

note the two cc's at the end

You can download a zip file at

There have been some bug reports that I can't replicate. For some  
people the control works fine, for others apparently not. If it fails  
for you please let me know. For testing purposes you can download an  
OS X standalone at:

And a Windows standalone at:

The standalones will help isolate the problem to internal vs.  
external issues. There are two buttons in the stack, Test 1 and Test  
2. Both, if successful, will display a dialog when they are done.
