Hollywood forums

Well, I'm not really trying to achieve anything but learning. It's not a serious project. Eventually I hope to able to store some settings in a file and read them back when needed. Which would probably have been a better approach from the get go. But there you go. :roll: Thanks for the additional in...

Thank you. Unfortunately it's waaaaay too complicated for me. :lol: Must be a way to learn this stuff incrementally. Trying to adapt some code from the docs: @DISPLAY{WIDTH = 960, HEIGHT = 540, MODE = "WINDOWED", TITLE = "FileStuff", COLOR = #BLACK} SetFont(#MONOSPACE, 24) SetFon...

So, I'm having some problems understanding how to read specific data back from a simple text file previously written to. How do I know where that data is stored in the file? I understand I have to use the seek function in some capacity, but how exactly? And also, how do I write information to a file...

I may have missed the option, but if not it'd be nice to have a way to lock an element in it's position once properly placed.

Haven't had any problems recently.

As I understand it, it is possible to change the display type as needed in Hollywood. For instance if a certain part of the application is more suited for double buffering that layers, then you can change that. But is the same thing true for Designer?

Right. I had closed that window cause I needed more space. Thanks!

Been a while since I played around in Designer, but where did the options for text outlines and drop shadows go in Designer 7 (in Morphos)? I could swear they were there before.

First post from my Imac G5 running MorphOs.

Thanks for the info.
As long as Renoise isn't available, this seemed like a good option, but I wasn't sure.
