ok with a bit of help I was able to figure things out, it turns out that it was simple to do difficult to understand :D so here is my answer

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25708970/trying-to-find-the-progressbar-morph-when-sending-the-message-displayprogress

I also attached the new progress bar i customised and the old for comparison as attached images

��

Personally I would make my code the default Progress Bar for entire Pharo including all operations because its annoying to be that small and up there. This should work well even if there are multiple Progress Bars displayed. But for not its PharoLauncher only progress bar.��

How I add this code to PharoLauncher ? do I use just the development mode of PharoLauncher and Commit ? I dont want to mess anything up.��

Next step would be to add an info box for each image so people know what they download before downloading it.��

yeah yeah I see it now, there actually many announcers (3 of them ) all seem to signal SystemProgressMorph , oh boy this will be a tricky one . Thanks for the pointer, now I have to find how to capture the instance of that SystemProgressMorph. If I find the instance sending a width: message should do the trick. Looks like I will need to investigate further but at least you are pointed me to the right direction so I no longer feel lost in space.��

Hello pharoers it has been almost a year since the last time I commited to PharoLauncher so I decided to go for it once again. The first time I added a progress bar for people to see the progress of the download of the image . Now I want to scale and reposition the progress bar as I am not happy at all in the way it looks , its too small and hard to read.

So I created a question at stackoverflow with all the details of my problem

I would not mind also some extra details on how I can fetch the Morphs used by UIManager or to even further customise UIManager. I tried to find the answer myself but after an hour of staring at the Pharo system browser I gave up.

Hi Kilon,

I don't have a stackoverflow account, so here is what I found.

>From displayProgress: , asJob brings you to Job, which has no morph at all. But, on the class side of Job, you have a job announcer (instance class variable jobAnnouncer). Inspect that variable, search among the subscriptions of the announcer, and you'll find SystemProgressMorph.

A good use case of a fairly good design which is a lot harder to unravel than it should be, due to the lack of tools to explore announcer / subscription relations.
