Mac stacks look like Windows

[simplsol at aol.com]

Mark,
The question is academic at this point.
I've had to go back to 2.6.1
There are just too many blocker problems in 2.7 for me.
When the file paths are sorted out and the tab pane in the Object 
Inspector is crashless, I'll look at the themes and other issues again.
I appreciate you continuing efforts - although I do wish that you had 
released the file path supdate separately so they could be debugged by 
themselves and provide a solid foundation for the other changes.

   Hi Paul,

  It appears that your standalones are not being created with the 
necessary 'theme support' files that provide the OS X native look and 
feel - and what you are witnessing is the emulated MacOS 9 look and 
feel. 
 
  (The other alternative is that somehow your look and feel is being set 
to Windows 95 - to see which it is, use the 'View -> Look and Feel' 
menu in Revolution to switch look and feels until you find the one that 
matches your standalone) 
 
  I have just run some tests here and standalones build successfully 
with all the necessary support files. To see if yours are missing 
these, go to your built standalone application bundle in the Finder and 
choose to 'Get Info'. There should be a pane in the popup window 
listing plugins - you should see several listed here: in particular 
tiger_theme_support. The check-mark beside it should be enabled. 
 
  If this is not the case, then there must be something that in your 
case (and it would seem a couple of other people's cases) that are 
causing this to go awry. 
 
  As this is may take a little time to get to the bottom of (and others 
are involved) I urge you to file a bug report were we can collect other 
people's experiences of this phenomenon. 
 
 Warmest Regards, 
 
 Mark.
