  <description>
    <p>On Mac OS systems, inactive palettes have the same appearance as the frontmost palette. Use the <strong>activatePalettes</strong> property to control this behavior.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Value:</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>activatePalettes</strong> property is true or false.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By default, the <strong>activatePalettes</strong> is true if LiveCode is running on a Mac OS system and false otherwise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Comments:</strong></p>
<p>If the <strong>activatePalettes</strong> is true, all palettes look the same. If it is false, the active palette window looks different from the other palette windows.</p>
