I like to understand AppKits layout so I made a example.
The user could change the width or the height for NSWindow and still remain the overall look
of 2 NSBox in the window. I used the devided height with offset to feet the 2 boxes.
use framework "Foundation"
use framework "AppKit"
use scripting additions

property theWindow : missing value

if my NSThread's isMainThread() as boolean then

set the ErrorText to "Error: " & the errorNumber & ". " & the errorMessage
return the ErrorText
