Perhaps I could put on a start-up script something like: MyClass initialInspectorSize: 1000@1000. My issue is that on specific classes the inspector shows a big roassal visualization. When I inspect in a new window one of these objects, I need each time to enlarge the window to see the full visualization.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [ANN] OnScreenKeyboard

by J.F. Rick

Well, that is a part I haven't gotten to. I only have the looks of it done. Plus it is only for Athens graphics. I do plan on making it work with multi-touch, but that's also something that will probably take some work. Currently, I don't have a multi-touch machine to make progress. Once I get it, we'll see.

Hi, where can I find your code? I would like to see the emulation of touchpad too (where whole device screen acts as a touchpad. Something like TouchMousePointer application [1]). Because this is currently the only usable way how to control Pharo on tablets. ...And Pharo is usable on tablets because this OnScreenKeyboard package was WHOLE created on a small 8" tablet and partly in a bus without any attached additional hardware ;-) [1] http://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer/en-us/ Cheers, -- Pavel 2014-11-24 15:13 GMT+01:00 J.F.

It will certainly help. Ideally, we should have this string displaying method in the MCRepository hierarchy.

Awesome. I've been working on an onscreen keyboard as well. Perhaps we can join forces, though it will be a while before I can continue to work on it.

yes you are right, but also you are digressing :) my question is simple: do you think this small change can help or is useless?

I can imagine them being ok on 1-2 decades old monitors but for modern monitors they are just too small. I think it makes sense to display only the name of the repository instead of its web location . I would like now that pharo offers good support for git, separate icons for diffirent kinds of repos. Actually talking about icons I think I will start a new thread on it.
