> Hello all, I’ve been trying to install Xojo 2019r1.1 in an Ubuntu 19.04 system using the deb package and gdebi (after seeing the default GUI installer fail silently) The error message I’m getting is This package is uninstallable Dependency is...

install of Xojo on Ubuntu fails and only seems to install properly on Mint

replacementnt / abandonement of a framework for one that isnt done / ready (by Xojo’s own admission they deferred numerous items)

> What exactly happened to dark mode? This is what I get with 2020 R1 in the XoJo IDE. This was not an issue with 2919 R3.2. Running the application works just fine with dark mode, but can’t develop anything. When can I expect this to be fixed?

Norms own stats (no way to get everyones)  
Reproducible bug in Xojo 114
