Modal vs modeless

[Thomas McGrath III]

Devin, For some odd reason I don't remember modal dialogs not having decorations. But I believe BYU's rev pages.

So, If I want to block access but still allow for a close decoration do I have any other HIG compliant choices? I don't think so.

hmmm

I don't remember that being the case. If I modeless a stack I get the decorations but now the end user can click on the window behind this window which I do not want.
