Chris,

You could also do something like this in preOpenStack

  if the environment is "development" then
      set the rect of this stack to "0,0,1150,700" -- Adjust to match the size of your stack
      set the decorations of this stack to default
      set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc
      set the shadow of this stack to false
   else
      set the rect of this stack to "0,0,480,320" -- Adjust to match the size of your stack     
   end if


be well,
randy

I don't want this to happen. I need it to be the actual size, even if it's partially obscured by something else (the dock, for example). Can I prevent this behavior somehow? And this is not the strange Mac menu bar issue where the stack resizes to compensate for a menu. I don't even have a menu set on this stack.
