Description

Use the hidePalettes property to change the behavior of palettes.

If the hidePalettes is true, palette windows--including stacks opened as palettes--are hidden when another application comes to the front, and are shown when LiveCode is brought back to the front.

If the hidePalettes is false, palette windows are always shown, regardless of which application is active.
