One of the first widgets we decided to include in LiveCode 8.0 was the navigation bar. The IDE previously included a mobile template as a sample stack, but the ability to provide this key bit of functionality as a drag and drop object in the tools palette was a no-brainer.

However the prototype was almost completely hard-coded, meaning changing the tutorial would be difficult, and there was no capacity for having multiple different tutorials in the IDE. As there was still plenty of work to do on the IDE for 8.0, the tutorial was put on hold for a while (albeit returned to periodically to make sure it still vaguely worked, and to make some of the generalisations it needed).

read moreThe design of user interfaces has changed substantially since LiveCode was first created. For example, instead of a single font used throughout the UI, modern designs use a variety of different fonts for different purposes, in varying sizes and styles.
In LiveCode 8 there is a new option in the (new) ‘New Stack’ submenu:
This new option allows you to create what is called a ‘script only stack’.
