Hi Thorsten,

The problem with your code is that make-face is expecting a style name
defined in the master stylesheet. You can specify a different style
sheet using the /STYLES refinement.

So here is some amended code:

    stylize/master [seat: box 6x6 green]
    add-seat: func [] [
        append main/pane make-face 'seat show main
    ]
    a: [
        title "Test" backcolor silver
        button "Add Seat" [add-seat]
    ]
    main: layout a
    view main

Your next issue will be to position the newly made seat face. You will
need to do this by changing the OFFSET of the face you just created or
by using the /SPEC refinement of make-face like this:

    stylize/master [seat: box 6x6 green]
    add-seat: func [] [
        append main/pane make-face/spec 'seat [offset: 25x5]
        show main
    ]
    a: [
        title "Test" backcolor silver
        button "Add Seat" [add-seat]
    ]
    main: layout a
    view main

Regards,
Brett.
