Hi Stef,
Great. GT is already prepared for this :). If you define a <gtExample> 
on the class side, you will get an "E.g." tab with those examples.
It's called gtExample because we did not want to interfere with other 
pragmas, but perhaps we can change it to <eg>, or <example>. What do 
you think?
for a given class I would like to have potentially multiple examples. I 
already have that in certain classes.
Then since these examples are for core classes I do not really like the 
idea to get gt*

Now first we should have many more and renaming a pragma is just the 
easy part of the game.
Because I'm turning WidgetExamples into class methods examples and 
trying to understand the API of UITheme
and reducing the mess.

I want

     - UITheme to call widgets class methods
     - but I have to understand the theme impact on the API.

a kind of gigantic task. but we will see.

Hi guys
I started to systematically defined widget example using the
    pragram <exampleWidget>
rowPrototype
        "Answer a prototypical row"
        "self rowPrototype openInHand"
        <exampleWidget>
| sampleMorphs aRow |
        sampleMorphs := (1 to: (2 + 3 atRandom)) collect:
            [:integer | EllipseMorph new extent: ((60 + (20 atRandom))
    @ (80 + ((20 atRandom)))); color: Color random; setNameTo: ('egg',
    integer asString); yourself].
        aRow := self inARow: sampleMorphs.
        aRow setNameTo: 'Row'.
        aRow enableDragNDrop.
        aRow cellInset: 6.
        aRow layoutInset: 8.
        aRow setBalloonText: 'Things dropped into here will
    automatically be organized into a row. Once you have added your
    own items here, you will want to remove the sample colored eggs
    that this started with, and you will want to change this balloon
    help message to one of your own!'.
        aRow color: Color veryVeryLightGray.
        ^ aRow
This means that GTool will get instances for free to play with and
    the finder get really handy to browse widgets.
If you want to join the effort you are welcome.
