Yes and also having a Pharo icon and not a Squeak one.


Yes! The windows VM has already that. The MacVM, I sent an email few months ago to explain how to do it.
If you want, I can upload a Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app�� but with the Pharo icons and named Pharo 4.2.2beta1U.app
Then we link from the website to that VM. What do you think ?

I know there are newer MacOS VMs, but they are still in beta and for the Pharo 1.0 I think the best VM is the 4.2.2.beta1

What do you think ?

Cheers

Mariano
