LiveCode for the rest of us

[Brahmanathaswami]

We appreciate everyone pointing out the plugins made some of these 
features, but i was trying to make a  point:

if someone opens LC for the first time... she won't be knowing anything 
about plug-ins for what she considers "standard layout engine" features..

FYI, we are abandoning Google apps (docs email, sheets sites etc..) here 
and moving to Microsoft365

It's been years since I worked in MS Word and Excel... I have to say 
that the old "antipathy" for all things Windows is pretty much gone, 
these apps look great! finally I won't have to pull my hair like I do in 
Google Docs to get something formatted...

MS Word's new model for switching tool sets at the top of the window is 
pretty powerful..

Something like that for LC would be awesome.

Set the size of the grid in Preferences ->  Appearance ->  Grid spacing. However, there are no visible lines for the grid, so maybe that's what you mean.
