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.��
