Highlights: - BlCornerRadii - 1st class corners - yay to the death of cryptic arrays for this kind of thing :) Questions: - How would one do e.g. a ticking clock in Bloc? The only possibly relevant example I see is BlAnimatedCursor. Is that a typical usage? One thing that I'm not sure how to translate to a BlElement is that the cursor seems to be responsible for starting and stopping the animation via #activateOn:, which doesn't exist for an element. How would one prevent an element's animation from continuing to run after a space was closed? - BlElement has 278 instance-side methods. A frequent battle cry against Morphic was the bloated Morph class with 899. Definitely an improvement, but are we "there yet"? - Does Bloc implement its own keybinding outside of "Keymapping" e.g. BlShortcut? If so, why? Will it ultimately be a replacement? - In BlTextEditElement class>>#exampleText, text construction seems awfully complex (`text := BrRopedText rope: (BrCollectionRope collection: (String loremIpsum: 30)). text attributes: { BrFontWeightAttribute bold }.`. How does that way contrast to e.g. `'X' asRopedText`? Problems: BlBasicExamples - #exampleShapes, select the yellow shape with red border -> inspector -> Transformations Tab -> Click on Composition -> "ShouldNotImplement: #multiplyOn: should not have been implemented in BlCompositeTransformation" - #exampleImageBackground -> "ShouldBeImplemented: #fillPath:withForm: should have been implemented in SpartaCairoFillPainter" BlTextEditElement class>>#exampleText - insert some characters and then press [delete] -> "Error: Illegal sub-sequence end index: 44" - There is aBlSelectionHandler, but I can't seem to select any of the text BrAttributeRopeExamples#>>simpleRope -> inspect return value -> In inspector, click on "Children" tab -> "Error: Improper store into indexable object" - In BlLinearLayoutExamples class>>#exampleVerticalLeftCenterRightRTL, - the red sub-element does `c linear horizontal alignLeft`, which is then overridden by its parent's `BlLinearLayout vertical "rightToLeft"`. Was it intentional to show the precedence because I found it confusing when an element that sent #alignLeft showed up on the right! - the yellow sub-element does not appear at all. Maybe it should do a `c vertical exact: 100.` like its siblings? - All BlAnimationExamples lead to deprecation warnings and DNU's, but *do not even attempt* #exampleBallsAnim or face endlessly multplying debugger windows! ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
