tool palette question

is there anyway to have the title of a tool palette be multiline when you put your cursor on it rather than one long line. any of you who followed the blockwerx post may realize where i'm going with this  :idea:

Yea, put a '\n' where you want to wrap the line.

Put all that stuff under "Description" not  "Name" and then add '\n' where you want the text to wrap.

ah yes you are the man. one more question is there anyway possible to have the description display a little longer so someone can read through the whole thing to see if that's what they want or not?

How many lines do you have in there? dang it man :D

the "description" text will wrap where you put the '\n' if it's not long enough then move it (\n) down the line.

i think i figured out the sharing bit. it creates atc files. what's up with the deep folder autocad puts stuff in anyway?

it's a windows thing. it's designed so each user has their on settings. since autodesk married into the MS family they have to abide by their rules, it is after all their house! what ticks me off is the
Documents<space>and<space>Settings
whats wrong with a simple home like Unix uses? I guess it's just one of those windows things.  :roll:
Next thing you know they'll have something like
This<space>Is<space>The<space>Windows<space>Folder

clickidy click .......... click.......... click click.........click
