Of course it is possible, and at times it would even be the correct thing to do. The point is that we are currently limited to it, and that is always a sign that work remains to be done. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Richard Durr [richard.durr@googlemail.com] Sent: Saturday, June 05, 2010 12:42 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] pharo and stand along GUI projects Since single-fullwindow apps like garageband, finalcut, aperture et al. are all very well accepted, a single-fullwindow app based on pharo sounds possible.

Native widgets are over-rated IMHO. That is not to say they have no value, and it would be nice to see us make them easy to use. I am split on whether I would like to see the IDE tools appear as host widgets on Linux; it would probably be best to set (sorry) a preference for the image to run over multiple windows or to default to what we have now which can be very useful if I need to work on two or more images at one time. That is rare, and most of the time I would like to see the OS' task bar include my Smalltalk tools.
The only real advantage I see for native widgets currently is that they support things like accessibility, though Juan mentioned he's thought about that for Morphic 3 which gives me hope :)
