Hey...someone with a mac, what is the path to the Scratch application directory?

Ooh! Beautiful! That looks really impressive.

Here's how it looks on a Mac:

(the window icons in the background are irrelevant)

I really don't think multimonitor support is much of an issue (I doubt anyone will use it), but if there's an alternative fix that would probably be the better choice.

Thanks for the screenshot! It didn't shed any light on the problem, but it did remind me to embed the Segoe UI font

No problem! Do you have any idea what the problem is at this point?

Absolutely none. Right now the application is running inside of a chromeless (transparent) window that is about the size of the interface. However, I could simply launch a full-screen, transparent window and load the interface as an object within that window. It's pretty much guaranteed to work, but it will cause problems if the user does something weird like change the screen resolution or try to move the window to the second monitor. I came up with a solution for that, too, by adding a monitor selector to the system tray menu for multi-screen users. So your mac problem should definitely be fixed for 1.0.

Oh, that makes sense... Thank you for explaining!

I doubt there will be too many multi-screen users using you application, but it's always a possibility. I'm glad to see it'll be fixed with 1.0!

Adrian, ihaveamac, fg123, please approve content, I'm on vacation and I have no time 

Sure thing, I am doing it right now, and it is really backed up!

I tried to upload a script to Scratch Resources and was unable to. I tried to use a 1 sprite 1 script program as the file. Do you have any suggestions to what to do? Do I have to save the program as a .sprite?

Scraps 0.95         
I'll be away for a few days so I won't be able to fix the bugs, but let me know how it works for you!

Ugh, something weird happened. Try it now, and tell me if it's lagging at all.

OH MY GOSH IT'S SO COOL!

One thing that I'd REALLY wish you'd add is a close button though. I have to close it in the task manager every time...

Glad you like it!
Look for the little orange s in the system tray, right-clicking it will give you a few more options, including an exit option 

Huh. The right clicking didn't work, but I middle clicked and it closed out for me.

Weird.

Hey Fullmoon, when you get back, you should make your own topic for Scraps    I love it!

The only problem I've encountered with v0.95 is that some of the text is a little hard to read, which may have to do with that fact that it's in Times New Roman, which I'd imagine it isn't supposed to be written in. Just something to consider, because a lot of the text isn't rendering properly.

Other than that, FANTASTIC work. I love it!

Hmmm, thanks for the tip. I could have sworn I embedded the font I used but apparently you can never be sure. I'll try it again.

Once I finish Scratch DJ, I'll post it.
