Alpha 11 problem with tool pane

Post by alethiophile » Sat Jan 31, 2009 4:43 pm

I just downloaded Alpha 11. When I run it, it runs fine, but the tool pane shows up only as a white box that doesn't do anything (I can't move it). I can still look around, move the camera, etc. Anyone know about this? I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.6; it worked for the last alpha I tried, number 9.

This has been mentioned many many times. Check the Alpha 11 sticky.

For a temporary fix, copy the UI folder from the old alpha to the new alpha

A 'sticky' is basically a forum thread that always stays at the top of the first page. Usually for important topics like news posts or, in this case, the alpha thread =P

Also, do you have an older version of the alpha? if so then you just copy the folder named 'ui' into a safe spot, uninstall that alpha then install the new one, then put the UI folder where it should be...
