Cool. Yes, my panes are gray too now. But at the end, I just redefined Color white to return something grayish... Too much things to change in too many places. And the Window color in the settings is absolutely not giving anything else than weird results (I tried with some kind of "Nuclear Green" and it really was "interesting". I want to do a theme looking like Adobe Lightroom or the editor that Still uses (around 55:00) Revision 2013 - Concept, Camera, Composition and Color https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPaQUZF_KZI&list=PLF0E68A8AD5BB6140&index=13 Also, the STHStyler80 class coloring schemes are nice and well, but without an editor, good luck w/ the colors. That's an area where spec would come in handy. About that, I read that some paper would surface explaining spec a bit more. I updated the SVN but didn't saw anything conclusive. Is there something? Also, I wonder what the relationship is with the color settings in the prefs. 2013/4/5 Benjamin <benjamin.vanryseghem.pharo(a)gmail.com> > With Nicolas Petton we are currently working on a new Pharo theme too, and > fixing hardcoded references from Morph along the way :) > We didn't find documentation either, but if you have questions, we will be > glad to (try to) answer them :) > > Ben > > PS: I attach a screen of the new theme as it is right now (still a lot to > fix), just to give you a glance :) So if you have ideas, feedback â¦ you're > welcome :) > > > > > On Apr 4, 2013, at 3:26 PM, phil(a)highoctane.be wrote: > > I am digging inside the UITheme and friends and wondered if there was any > documentation about it. > > Googled already but not much turned up. > > I've got some success in the PharoTheme (fill-style) category and now have > a decent grasp of how it works (it is strange to find a ton of > glamorous-xxx methods in the private category of PharoTheme but well). > > I want to do a high contrast/dark theme for my own work as it would be > better for accessibility. > > I find the Darcula theme pretty neat (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) and > use it for work.

I should post it somewhere :) But first I need a configuration because the loading order is *really* important (since we are extracting morph behaviours and put them into Polymorph) Ben On Apr 5, 2013, at 2:40 PM, "Esteban A.

And when we will try to tackle issues to fix, we will iterate over all mailing list thread to find them ? If discussion like this happened in the issue tracker - people not implied in Pharo bug fixing (aka people without an account on fogbugz) do not get massively spammed - when someone want to fix this, he/she will not have to try to remember what it's about, guess the discussion was in the mailing list, retrieve the thread, etc â¦ If you think that your time is more precious that any one else's, then maybe you missed what a community is â¦ People spent time setting up the issue tracker to make it fit into our usual workflow, writing documentation about how to report an issue, and it has been decided that it was the way we (the community) manage bugs. Managing them in a mailing list has already been tried, and was not successful. I hate to blame, but the way you are acting know is just saying "I will not try to fit into the community workflow, I will stick to mine, and people will have to adapt'. I am sorry, it doesn't work.

Both the OpenOffice and Geany work well in my opinion, but for reasons that are maybe not so convenient for Pharo... - OpenOffice (LibreOffice) and Geany/C are single line completion and tab-to-complete, no fancy behavior you can add (like using it as a menu). -- Disregarding / not using them even if active is easy - Geany/C has a limited number of completions (the functions, struct members and not much else) and document your entry (does not try to just complete the function you're typing, laso gives you the prototype, i.e. names and arguments type). -- In Pharo, if you're just checking if you've got the spelling of a method right, then syntax coloring may be enough. Or use my browser and keep the target list of methods visible (maybe that's why I don't miss so much completion in 2.0 since I don't use Nautilus there)? Oh, and is that me? Completion in Pharo on a netbook seems to decrease feedback speed when typing. > For myself, I find the following settings to be close to > perfect: > NECPreferences > enabled: true; > caseSensitive: true; > expandPrefixes: true; > useEnterToAccept: false; > smartCharacters: true; > smartCharactersWithDoubleSpace: '[]{}'; > spaceAfterCompletion: false; > popupAutomaticDelay: 100. The real thing I miss are smart characters. They are convenient on OB, and should be a lot better in 2.0 since there was a lot of improvements. I'll try maybe to get back the smart characters on. > The only thing I was missing (but is less important now that I disabled > enter-to-accept) is promoting an exact match to the top of the list, and > matches starting with the typed characters next, followed by matches that > contain the substring (but not at the beginning). I don't know. I would see two use cases : * Search for a keyword I'm not sure of (I would call that search-complete) * Complete what I am typing at the moment for maximum speed and less typos (speed-complete) If I want speed-complete, then I want the geany single-match, single-key-complete, disappear from my view without any effort. If I want search-complete, then this is something else I need (type-and-auto-select, ast-match-search-with-exploratory-GUI, complete-or-cancel).

Re: [Pharo-project] Issue 10219: Completion: enter on accept awkwardness

I personally solve that by disabling auto popup :) And it fits in what Doru said. I have to hit ctrl space to pops up completion, and here, I know that I am in completion mode, so pressing enter is not breaking my workflow. Moreover, usually when I see people using completion, it's highly a lost of time. the basic case is instead of fully typing 'asString', they type 'as', wait 3 seconds, press arrow down 20 times, and finally accept. This is for me so strange :) Maybe it's because I have been through a couple of Pharo version with auto completion disabled because it was a pain :D Ben On Apr 5, 2013, at 2:12 PM, Sean P.
