New Proposal for new Pharo website - About page (with example website)
by kilon alios May 3, 2014

May 3, 2014

I don't like the about page. Its still unclear what Pharo is and I have to agree with the complains we are getting at reddit. So instead of starting a long conversation about how I would want it done , I sat my ass down and made a draft of it so you can see it directly. Please bare in mind this is draft , I just wanted to show you my idea for an About page. You can find the draft here http://thekilon.wix.com/pharo-about I think contributors should go to a seperate page called "Credit" I am open to comments and suggestions.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Pharo-users] Pharo 3 minor issue
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 3, 2014

That is apparently a Spec problem (i.e. all buttons created with Spec react like this): ButtonModel new label: 'Right-click Me'; action: [ self inform: 'Clicked !' ]; openWithSpec CC'ing to Pharo dev. We probably have to turn this into an bug tracker issue. Thanks for reporting. On 03 May 2014, at 03:11, S. Garth Holland <steve9571952(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, started looking a Pharo again.

download from website: missing .sources file
by Johan Brichau May 2, 2014

May 2, 2014

Hi guys, Really nice job on the new website. Congrats! Though this one keeps popping up over and over again: the .sources file is _not_ available for download from the website. If you download the vm and the image, you still need to get the .sources from somewhere else. It would be really good to fix that. cheers Johan

Hi everyone, just want to let you know that Iâve generated a smalltalk-language package for ATOM editor from some existing TextMate bundle. This can be useful if you are reading of editing .st files.

[ANN] Pharo3 Dark Theme is available
by Esteban Lorenzano May 2, 2014

May 2, 2014

Dark Theme for Pharo 3 ================== So, I finally took some time and hacked a Dark Theme for Pharo 3: How you install it? You need to execute this script: â1. You need this because otherwise Gofer merge becomes dumb :P" MCRepositoryGroup default addRepository: (MCSmalltalkhubRepository owner: 'estebanlm' project: 'Pharo3DarkTheme'). â2. Now we can actually MERGE the project" Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'estebanlm' project: 'Pharo3DarkTheme'; package: 'Pharo3DarkTheme'; merge. â3. And then install it" Pharo3DarkTheme installFullTheme. WARNING 1: You need to do a merge (notice the script) WARNING 2: Yes, this is a HACK (also: an ugly hack). See below for details. WARNING 3: This changes something in the Pharo3Theme too... so you can go back after installing, but not completely :) Considerations -------------- It can look like an easy task, to make a theme over a non native GUI like Pharo, but let me tell you: It is not. There are a lot of glitches and errors of design you have to overcome to get a working version of a theme. This is a pitty because we claim that our system is clean (or should be clean) and easy to understand. But all the Morphic implementation is a hack over a hack, with preconcepts and hardcodes everywhere, up to a point that to make the smallest change is an incredibly annoying task. Then... 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. Is so cool that I'm considering making it my default theme :P Esteban

Soon the LaserGame book for Pharo

Hi guys Steve just told me that he is ok that we port his book to Pharo :) This is a great news. So I will start during my spare time. Stef Begin forwarded message: From: Stephan Wessels <stevewessels(a)me.com> Subject: Re: [vwnc] Can this idea work Date: 24 Apr 2014 15:21:27 GMT+2 To: stephane ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)gmail.com> Hi. Actually I got those requests and replied both times that you have my permission provided I'm credited or noted as the original author.

I would like to know if we can port the tutorial to Pharo and if we can turn it into a book to fit in the open-source book collection we are slowly building (SqueakbyExample, PharoByExample, Seaside, DeepintoPharo). Now since there is no license it is not clear that it is worth the effort. Stef On 22 Apr 2014, at 01:44, stevewessels <stevewessels(a)me.com> wrote: As the author of the tutorial I'm not sure how I feel about my work being referred to as "old". The tutorial is remarkably still in use to this day. I still get emails from folks thanking me for it or reporting bugs. When the tutorial was written my intended audience was Smalltalk developers wanting to build Test Driven Development (TDD) skills. It was not intended for beginners. But as it turns out lots of beginners have slogged through it. The key concepts I tried to demonstrate were how to do TDD and building good models that were testable. I also wanted to show you could make stand-alone apps using Smalltalk/Squeak for the Mac. To convert the tutorial to VisualWorks might end up being a challenge, but alas, I haven't used VW since the late 90's and I know it's grown a whole lot since those days. So I cannot recommend how you go about doing it. You're welcome to send me questions about it and any design decisions that were made. I don't claim that it is a "proper OO design" or anything like that. Interestingly, I did port the design to Objective-C for the iPhone years ago and the basic design held up fine. The GUI was obviously done differently -- I ended up adopting OpenGL for the GUI. That was work. But it turned out well and has been in the App Store ever since. So if I can help you, drop me a note. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Can-this-idea-work-tp4753741p4755668.html Sent from the VisualWorks mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list vwnc(a)cs.uiuc.edu http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc
