"Badge" in answer modal?

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi RIchmond,

It's just three small changes away.
First revive gRevSmallAppIcon support on MacOSX by uncommenting the bit that starts with
# OK-2009-10-08 : Removed for consistency with Windows / Linux

Next you need to fiddle with the logic of the block
--is there an icon to display or not?
if word 2 of item 1 of the dialogData is "plain" and (not tMacOSX and gREVAppIcon is not empty) then

=> if word 2 of item 1 of the dialogData is "plain" and gREVAppIcon is empty then

And then seven lines below, change
if tMacOSX then 
=> if tMacOSX or true then


HTH,

Jan Schenkel.

Just had a go and came badly unstuck.  :)


Of course a much easier route would be to make a palette to suit one's 
tastes that would function perfectly well cross-platform.

But, Hey, why take the easy route when there's a difficult one?

Oh, My God, it's time for my Lithium Tablets!  But it's difficult to get 
them as the strait-jacket kinda cramps my style.

LOL . . . Richmond.
