[L2Ork-dev] ontop and resizable window properties

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Thanks. This may be a Windows issue or the fact that it uses 0.14.7. Any 
chance you can provide a quick  example change inside the pdgui.js that 
can test this? I tried messing with the manifest, as well as passing 
variables to the window creation and none of it worked. BTW, I noticed 
nw has a frame option which could allow for the creation of fake but 
nonetheless consistent window bars (for the sake of consistent sizing 
across different OSs).

Similarly, the way I got around of tkpath's also somewhat finicky 
scrollbars is that I built my own inside it (yeah, I am that big of a 
glutton for punishment...) which in turn resulted in semi-transparent 
scrollbars that did not mess anymore with patch being covered by 
scrollbars. Something for us to consider, as well? Needless to mention, 
it could look more... contemporary?

On a related note, is there a new binary release of nw.js for Windows 
and if so, why are we not using that by default?

Best,

Ico
