"Badge" in answer modal?

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

I would agree, but that's why I prefer Macs for almost everything. I'm spoiled too. Good luck!

I had never checked, but had "assumed" that when I call for "as sheet" that the Dialogs produced for Window's versions would, at least be located similarly, if not functionally, as a "sheet" type dialog. Guess "assume" bit me in the butt as usual. (smile)

I am looking at eventually having to go through an app and make it cross platform, meaning a lot of conditional checks for things like this. I don't think it should be a decision RnRev makes whether or not an application complies with interface guidelines, however I get that the feature of producing an app for each platform that has the look and feel of the respective OS is compelling.
