Hi,

So far the only application I¹ve found written in revolution that looks like
a native Mac app is ScreenSteps.  Granted, I haven¹t looked long.  :)

Anyway my questions:

How¹d they created the icon bar? And I mean the area right below the title
bar of the window? I¹ve been busting my head playing with rectangles, but
no. And I assume the blue area on the left is also a rectangle with a
background? The problem I am having is I can create the areas and background
color easy enough. Placement is my problem. No mater how close I get my icon
bar to the windows title bar, the card¹s background bleeds in. Almost like
there¹s cell padding going on.

I¹m modeling my app against the Mac Dictionary Application. Trying to
simulate a large title/tool bar (the app is a database front end ­ for
internal use). 

Thanks,

Stephen Cox
