Hi,
as I told before I can't setup the box property for any object in Fluid.
With fltk (in sorce code) I have no problems, just with Fluid...
Now I saw a screenshot from Fluid that looks totat different to mine !!!
For example in the screenshot there was a tool window, where you can pick objects for adding to the window, I don't have this tool window !!!
I'm using Fluid 2.0 (from the Dev-C++ package) on Win2k and W98

Is there a newer version avilable, or can someone please send me a working version !?!?!

Hello again Acki. Do you mean that the properties don't change or you can't even make the changes. From the main FLUID project window you double click the item you would like to change and a three tabbed window ( GUI, STYLE and C++) should pop open where you can adjust most of the aspects of your item. Does this happen?

The Widget Bin can be shown by using the (MENU->Edit->Widget Bin on/off) item. As far as the different look, it could be a scheme difference or *nix vs windows vs OSx difference. I don't use 2.0 nor the devpack version but I will give a go at compiling 2.0 (from subversion) and see if there are any differences.

EDIT
Acki, I compiled 2.0 and my above statements are not valid. I use 1.1.6 so sorry 'bout that. I will say that one make and everything compiled. That never happens without some additional options with the 1.1.x line. You must have been looking at that ( I do have the Widget Bin with my fluid ) in those screen shots. So, revert to 1.1.6 or just use the menus (which is what I do anyhow) to select your new widgets. The attributes do pop open with a double click.

Well, the window appears, on the STYLE tab there is a pull down list (choice) where I should be able to set the box off the widget. But this list is empty I can't set any border (box) !!!!!
Is this in your Fluid V2, too ???

Hey Acki, this what you talking about. (see attached jpeg) All I did was open fluid, create a main(), create a window. Dbl-click window, choose style, drop the menu and choose diamond. I think I see a re-compile in your future.

The only thing is I am using the source from subversion not the dev-pak. Have you checked lately to make sure that you have the latest version? 2.0 is like a zoo these days, there is some serious work going on. I don't like Dev-C++ as much as I would like to, (in all fairness I haven't given it a go lately, they still seem to be developing as well) and I've found while using fluid, an editor, the fluid project window and it's assorted pop ups and a shell work like a champ. Pop the docs (the new help browser really is a lot nicer than the old) and off to the races.

But I digress, to answer your question, you should be able to see that drop down. Update the dev-pak and see if that helps. BTW, thanks for the reason to compile 2.0, I can't wait to make that swap. It loops crispy. I'm not jumping in just yet though, the repository still has wayyyyy to much updating going on. I think I'll wait a bit.

Well, I can life without the toolbox...
But I want to change the properties of the widgets !!!

Is your screenshot from Fluid 2 ???
It looks like it's running on Windows...
Could you please send me your Fluid exe - maybe it works for me, too !?!?!

Unfortunately I don't know how to recompile the Fluid source with Dev-C++... ??:

thx, Acki

The Fluid that comes with FLTK 1.1.6 has a tool window. The fluid that comes with FLTK 2 has none. Both versions of Fluid are very different and don't create code for the other version of fltk. I recommend to stick with 1.1.6 for the time beeing, although 2.0 currently almost bursts in productivity. It'll still take a while to stabilize 2.0.
