Button, Popovers, Button Bars, SVG Icons

I have a set of 7 buttons - one for each day with an attached script. If I click a button, I want its background to change color. This works, but only when pressing it. It then goes back imediatly to previous appearance. I want it to keep the new background color to help remember the user what he choose. When he clicks any of the 6 other buttons, that button will then be the one with the new background color. Do you need a script to do that?

I just realized that I could put portals inside of popovers. I really like the idea of using this in a list view to show related records. I was thinking of using it as an expandable portion for each record sort of like a "+" used in other programs. One down side is that I could only keep one popover open at a time, but I think that would be alright. I'm curious what the filemaker community thinks of something like this. Would this be poor design? Has anyone else tried this out? Any other cons to popovers besides only one open at a time?

Filemaker 13 has a script step, "Close popover". Is there a way to open a popover using a script?

I've been digging around in FM13 trying to figure out how the field help balloons where done in the "Getting Started" guide. When a field is clicked in some areas of the guide a tip balloon pops up with a focus pointer pointing to the field and some info on the field function. I suppose it could be done with the new hide object config and a calc on Get (ActiveFieldName) on a graphic object but the balloons seem to be a function of FM13 since they appear semi-transparent and background content can still be seen. Have I missed something or did someone at FM use a graphic app to create a whole lotta balloon graphics? The "Getting Started" database isn't unlocked for m…

Request clarification: In FMP Advanced 13, when I set a different style for an object when it is in "hover" state, the style is only applied if the object is *enterable in browse mode.* (To be clear, I am not referring to OnHover script trigger or any other sort of script triggering, just FMP's native "hover" style state.) If "Field Entry" -- Browse Mode check box is not checked (i.e. the field is not enterable,) when I mouse-hover over the object nothing happens. Maybe this is how it's always been and I just didn't know it. It's problematic for me because I want to use a container field (with custom icon stored in it) as a button, and I want the button t…
