| That's something I'd like too. The manual makes you believe you could, but reality shows difrently. Oh... It's not that important. But still.... |

| Metal windows suck. Don't use them. |

| If there is a possibility.....why don't use it???? In the gui manual in the program ide , show the window metal ......why the guide is very poor?????? I have tryed to guess the number style.....but nothing happend...... |

| In the gui manual in the program ide , show the window metal You're right:  But neither my my PC under Windows or Linux nor my Mac looks like those examples. That's because I'm using different themes in all cases:    Since MaxGUI is system-level GUI, I think that each user's settings control how the windows & gadgets look with no way for MaxGUI to override that. I believe that it just uses whatever theme the user is using, which makes sense (since that's how the user wants to see things). |

| in OSX, to create a metal window you need to create it using the NSTexturedBackgroundWindowMask style mask. User-settings do not affect the style of OSX windows. A new maxgui "style" would need to be added for OSX for you to pass when creating a window, to enable the metal window functionality... Not a big job, I wouldn't think. I would whip up some code, but my Mac is still at the docs... |
