Rev 2.8.1 NOT Leopard ready! METAL LOOK

[Stephen Barncard]

Well, Rev is not yet spec'd for Leopard.

You are not alone. There are so many apps that I use* that are not 
ready, that I've put off installing Leopard indefinitely, even though 
I just bought the 'family pack'.

My opinion: "metal" mode has been so unstable for so long that it 
deserved to be abandoned years ago.

Eric Chatonet has had a workaround for years for a 'metal' look using 
a simple graphic that works everywhere, including Windows. Why don't 
you see if his metal stack does  what you want.

The tutorial is part of Eric's free 'Tutorial Picker' plugin.


*audio, video stuff.

>Result:
>The app is completely unusable!
>All windows/stacks go empty when suspending and most of the time stay

>We did not test the IDE yet and probably won't until 2.9 comes out.
>(Still waiting for dp2 for about two months.)

>"Does it run on Leopard? Erm... no..."

>We are very disappointed :-/
