I would also like to take a deep look and see if with your help can document the theming. You think that themes now are more coder friendly or is Dark theme still a hack ?

(just noticed it right now): Try to revert to a "regular" theme and tell me what color is the text cursor, that should partially answer your question :D

no, it is not a hack.

Dark theme is a combination of two things: a refactor to move out hardcoded colors (they are everywhere) and the theme itself.

the cursor color is also a hardcoded value someplace there (not the fault of the theme :P).

but... #installFullTheme should be used between dark and lighter themes to restore all values.

If you choose dark theme, to go back you should first execute:

Pharo3Theme installFullTheme.

that should restore everything as before.

so well� I do not like the theme design, but the dark theme is following its guidelines. Then is not a hack, but it has some limitations :)

also, that�s why it is integrated in Pharo4 and not in Pharo3� most probably it need some iterations until is ready.
