[Pharo-project] Sugar theme for Pharo Smalltalk

by Hilaire Fernandes

It starts to take shape. Here is a note with screen shot http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire/index.php?post/2010/07/17/Sugar-theme-fpr-Pha… To conform at best to the Sugar UI, it may need change within Polymorph or very deeper knowledge. There are some aspect in Polymorph as PaneColor I don't really understand well its behavior. Hilaire

From the webpage, it looks like Access is not among the supported backends. But, I would be happy to be wrong :). Does anyone have a more precise idea?

Re: [Pharo-project] connection to access databases

Hi, I tried loading it, but I get : "This package depends on the following classes: ExternalLibrary ExternalStructure" Can anyone tell me where to find these from? Also, are there eternal prerequisites to work with ODBC?

[Pharo-project] selection in OB browser

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi lukas I refactored a lot of code with gary yesterday and when we used refactor like push up method for example, we got bitten by two problems after the method is moved, the method with the same name but self halt is selected. I think that it would be better to select another one, like that we can directly refactor the next one. Else you read again the code during 2 s and think ok this is the old one but this is really taking cycle of attention. The selection is strange, often I got an item kind of selected because it was in light blue but the list itself was not selected so I could select the refactoring to happy but the system barked telling me that the selection was not good and I have to click again on the item so select it for real (in the case I could see the selection because the list was surrounded by a blue line). If you have time this would be great to fix these two problems. Stef

Expecting or supplying symbols will probably still work in Squeak and Pharo as Symbol is a subclass of string and #test = ' test' evaluates to true, but this is not portable and, as you pointed out, results in a degradation of performance.
