Hi, everyone.<div><br></div><div>Please find attached a change set that splits up "cmdGesturesEnabled" into "metaMenuForAll" and "haloForAll". Note that even if disabled, any morph can decide to open the meta menu or the halo on its own. These preferences are rather development tools.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Marcel</div><div class="mb_sig"></div><blockquote class="history_container" type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">

Hi Stef,<div><br></div><div>well, since I tried to explain my thoughts and concerns, I suppose that I do not refuse just by principle. It seems that I have been failing to convey the bigger picture here. For that, I am sorry. <span style="font-size: 12pt;line-height: 1.5">I am no native English speaker; please treat </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;line-height: 1.5">any emotion I might transport with my words with care.

I offered you some alternatives so that you can avoid "hacking [your] way into the current design." Sorry for any inconveniences. You brought up a very important topic, for which I am thankful.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12pt;line-height: 1.5"><br></span></div><div>Have a nice day!</div><div>Marcel</div><div class="mb_sig"></div>
