Esteban you are awesome, VIP of Pharo :) If there was one thing of Pharo that got in my nerves it was the white theme. So tiring to my eyes it was the No 1 for me. What I can say about this dark theme, its amazing. The colors are right, I love the syntax highlighting colors , I love it , love and love it. I have installed , I see no problems so far, I will keep using it from now on a report back any problems. The thing I see is that class icons contain some white in their edges which of course does not fit with the theme, but for a hack its still awesome. Thank you , thank you and thank you. At last I can clearly see the scroll bars. Hm i found a problem, tried to open the help browser it asked for my name but the input box is white and so i could not see what i was typing.

There are a lot of glitches and errors of design you have to overcome to get a working version of a theme.

I added ""yet another hack"" to this infinite list. I made it because we need something like this, even if not a good solution. And I also made it to start a debate into our community. I truly believe that Morphic was a great idea, but I also believe that current implementation is doomed. I would like to discuss a new implementation, with a good design (for example I believe it should be a clear separation between a morph and it's skin, making easy the actual-hard task of changing a colorset). > I also believe there will be a clear separation between what is a Morph (a graphical unit) and a Widget (who at the time should use morphs, but that's another story). > Etc., etc., etc. > > So, will we start the longtime postponed effort of effectively replace current Morphic? > > In the mean time, enjoy the theme.
