Robert are you running OS 8.1 or 8.5?

Jonathan, same question for you with an additional parameter: are you 
running the French or English OS?

Also, those who are having problems, would you check on which version 
of Appearance you are using? (Apple Menu->Control 
Panels->Appearance->About Appearance (in the Apple Menu).

When I was doing some early experimentation with the Appearance 
Manager I was using the earlier systems and ran into all kinds of 
anomalies when my apps were run on later platforms.

With the exception of treating the first tab panel checkboxes as 
radio buttons and minor EF refresh flash when using the slider on Tab 
4, Steve's demo is working fine here: B&W G3 OS 9.1.

Nice work, Steve!
