[Pharo-project] UI states
by Gary Chambers Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

I might be nice for the appearance of all controls, windows etc. to adhere to a standard set of UI states as identified: Enabled Enabled Mouse over Enabled Mouse down inside Enabled Mouse down outside (*) Enabled Selected Enabled Selected Mouse over Enabled Selected Mouse down inside Enabled Selected Mouse down outside (*) Disabled Disabled Mouse over (*) Disabled Mouse down inside (*) Disabled Mouse down outside (*) Disabled Selected Disabled Selected Mouse over (*) Disabled Selected Mouse down inside (*) Disabled Selected Mouse down outside (*) And repeat for additional "inactive" (non-primary/top window) (*) indicates a nice to have, rather than strictly necessary... Thoughts appreciated beforehand. Anything missing, suggestions for fallback (don't want to have to do all for everything)?... Perhpas worth a tutorial/help/etc. for those making new widgets. I'm sure I discussed this with Igor before, but not sure I had a response. Regards, Gary

[Pharo-project] VM Plugins internal vs external
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

>From what i know, it has more to do with having smaller sized vm's, than >with efficiency reasons. Yes, and with security. Thats why FFI is external. If you remove it all code (downloaded or not) can only use built in primitives and its not possible to call OS API's and harm your computer.

[Pharo-project] Experimental Cocoa OS-X based Squeak Cog JIT VM 5.8b3.
by John M McIntosh Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

I've stuck a version (5.8b3) of the cocoa based os-x squeak cog JIT based VM in my experimental folder. http://homepage.mac.com/johnmci/.Public/experimental/Squeak%205.8b3.app.zip This VM is built from the Cog sources (with some minor changes for the iPhone) & revised & fixed Socket Plugin. It currently does NOT contain any external plugins. I did check in the changes to squeakvm.org that are required to build this VM excluding the required Cog changes... People are invited to take it for a whirl, report any performance gains, issues and especially crashes. PS (a) yes shortly we'll get the iPhone changes folded back into the source tree so you can build the VM. (b) yes when resizing a window you get neat graphic effects (fixing that issue is non-trival). (c) As time permits we'll look into rebuild this rather long list of plugins. ClipboardExtendedPlugin.bundle CroquetPlugin.bundle CurlPlugin.bundle FloatMathPlugin.bundle FT2Plugin.bundle IA32ABI.bundle KedamaPlugin.bundle KedamaPlugin2.bundle LocalePlugin.bundle mpeg3Plugin.bundle ObjectiveCPlugin.bundle OggPlugin.bundle PrintJobPlugin.bundle QuicktimePlugin.bundle RomePlugin.bundle SerialExtendedUnixPlugin.bundle ServicesPlugin.bundle SpellingPlugin.bundle SqueakFFIPrims.bundle TestOSAPlugin.bundle UnixOSProcessPlugin.bundle -- =========================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] MethodName is now Finder
by Benjamin Van Ryseghem Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

Hello everyone ^^ After a week in ESUG and thanks to Alain and Tobias, I've improved the Finder tool :) To test it, you have to download : Gofer new squeaksource: 'PharoTaskForces'; package: 'NullTextStyler'; load Gofer new squeaksource: 'PharoTaskForces'; package: 'DialogItemsChooser'; load and the last but not the least : Gofer new squeaksource: 'PharoTaskForces'; package: 'Finder'; load It works only on Pharo 1.2 and you will probably have an error due to an issue about PluggableTextMorph : http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2973 To open it, just click World >> Tools >> Finder Ben

[Pharo-project] Some thoughts...
by Alexandre Bergel Sept. 20, 2010

Sept. 20, 2010

Hi, I really would like to see projects like Opal and Ocean happening. Even though I may not have the time to directly contribute to them, they are important and I will use them. I am struggling these days to instrument the whole Pharo image and this is not easy. I am eagerly waiting for Opal. I got burned in the past with networks. So, please continue... Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.
