UITheme - Theme specific look/feel and main "services" (dialogs for choosing fonts, colours etc.) TEasilyThemed - Trait facade with lighter-weight helpers for services and UI component creation. UIManager - Was, in Squeak, a facade for basic services (request text etc.). Now incorporates TEasilyThemed UITheme builder - an entry point for using TEasilyThemed if not desired/appropriate to incorporate the trait into the sender Since UIManager now incorporates TEasilyThemed, UITheme builder might as well reference UIManager default...

For example I do not understand why the builder is just a composableMorph and not a builder. especially since Pluggable and friend invoke theme anyway. At the end we should have something much clearer. For me the responsibilities are not clear. Stef On Jun 20, 2011, at 12:10 PM, Gary Chambers wrote:
Some theme methods require the context of creation (aThemedMorph as passed) for adapting to corner style, colours etc.
Perhaps, in TEasilyThemed, this context can be broken out into another method that MorphicUIManager could redefine as appropriate (guessing self world)...

Because TEasilyThemed is designed to be applied to Morph subclasses... So when self (aMorphicUIManager) is passed to the theme it does not understand all Morph protocol.
Yes I saw but I still wonder why this is needed to "copy" all these protocols.

why
(UIManager default newPluggableDialogWindow: 'Pharo is cool') openInWorld
does not work? Apparently MorphicUIManager is missing something? Stef
