I believe that the default ability of resizing palettes on the Mac in 5.2 was a bug. If a palette was created functionally in 5.2 on the Mac, it didn't appear with a palette window frame--rather it had a normal window frame . If you saved and then repoened it then it would (Ibeleive) have a palette window frame. I had to do a workaround with Export to avoid this bug in http://scientificarts.com/worklife/ . It is now (thankfully) fixed in V6. However, if you want it to be part of a palette you can simple execute SetOptions[nb, WindowFrameElements -> {"ResizeArea"}] where nb is the notebook object for the palette (if it is open). or if the palette is not editable you can execute SetOptions[nb, Editable->True,WindowFrameElements -> {"ResizeArea"}]; SetOptions[nb, Editable->False] And if you aremaking the palette from scratch you can just add the WindowFrameElements -> {"ResizeArea"} optoin to it. If you want onter WindowFrameElements included you can include them in the list on the right hand side of the option. --David http://scientificarts.com/worklife/ rip pelletier wrote: > hi, > > i'm running 5.2 and 6.0 on a mac, os X 10.4.9. > > quite some time ago, it was impossible to resize palettes on my mac. for > the not-so-recent past, i have been able to resize palettes. > > under v 6, once again i cannot resize palettes. this is awkward, because > a couple of them don't fit into their spaces anymore. i wonder if a > macintosh patch didn't migrate to 6.0. > > (history suggests that eventually palettes will be resizable. and no, i > don't have the sources for the palettes in question.) > > any suggestions in the meantime? > > thanks, > rip > > -- > NB eddress is r i p 1 AT c o m c a s t DOT n e t
