You don't need a script. You just need to update to 10.5.2 and use the Desktop preference pane.
Thanks, I couldn't find any info on how to fix the problem. It's ok anyway, with the script there are three choices, {white, gray, translucent}
Since emacs is also the only editor anyone could ever need, I don't understand the need for the other scripts.. :-)
I used emacs until I discovered BBEdit, and emacs became but page in history... BTW : ( 1 ) have any idea what preference I need to set to get the window borders back ? I hate border-less windows... ( 2 ) what can be done to set the {sidebar width : 0} without having to hide (losing) the Toolbar ? I like having the toolbar, but I hate being forced to have the sidebar open. When you have several windows (12-15) open, especially if you are trying to compare them side by side, having the sidebar open forces the window to be inconveniently larger. People get used to working a certain way for several years, then someone arbitrarily decides that after years of having a particular option available to the user, they are just not going to let them have it anymore. What skin is it off the programmer's nose if I want to close the sidebar, to me it's a nuisance. A bully approach, wouldn't you say ? I think major changes in the way one works should be handled as a preference. The computer is supposed to be a tool to help us, and removing backward compatibility is just wrong, especially in something like the sidebar which does not affect the operating system, but certainly affects the way I work... I am sure as they sat around the table while trying to decide what features to include in Leopard, someone decided that "The user is too stupid to come out of the rain, so we'll protect them from themselves, and prevent them from closing the sidebar. That will improve the user experience !" You can tell I hate to be bullied ! Bill Hernandez ms@mac-specialist.com
