Thanks again to all and latterly especially to Chinh for pursuing this.

I don't have access to Macs, which is all a story of what my institution provides and not at all a story of personal preference or prejudice.

To return to #1, could anyone using a Mac please report on whether the boxes are visible with the following?

sysuse auto, clear
set scheme s1color 
stripplot mpg, over(rep78) box(barw(0.8) blw(medthin) blcolor(ltblue)) centre ///
vertical cumul cumpr mc(orange) scheme(s1color) yla(, ang(h))

If so, I will make that blw() setting the default. If not, reports on what blw() setting works would be most helpful.

Note that my intent is that the box(es) by default are subtle (but visible!), but nothing stops users making them as prominent as they like.

Yes, there are blue boxes with blue horizontal lines.

[Chinh Nguyen (StataCorp)]

It looks much better. Thanks Nick.

[Nick Cox]

Good. I'll ask Kit Baum to post a revised version on SSC.

[Nick Cox]

Thanks to Kit Baum again, a new version (2.7.0 2 March 2017) is now available from SSC. Use ssc or adoupdate to install if interested.

Really fast, even in computational sense!
