Hi Alain. DEVImageCreator  has to be updated to use the new
        preferences. I can do it but it will require much more than
        for me than for you ;)
For preferences it is  DEVImageCreator >> setDefaultPreferences
        it is using Preferences class for the moment. It should be
        updated to use Settings, isn't it ?
I don't think so. There is no need for such a initialization
    anymore since package are defining their own preferences.
    If a default value is desired then it should be set by an
    initialization method or lazily by the getter.
    I find the lazy initialization better because then, the
    SettingBrowser can reset the preference to the default by setting
    it to nil.
But maybe the default value in the "PharoCore" is not the same as 
PharoDev?  I mean, suppose these are the default prefrences we used in 
the pharo dev image
ok, there is only one default.
For this need, you should have to create a setting style for pharodev 
and load it.
as an example:

PharoDevSettingStyle class >>styleName
     "notice the pragma which allow the setting
     browser to recognize the class as a style"
<settingstyle>
     ^ 'PharoDev'

PharoDevSettingStyle>>load
     "set your default 1.1 preferences here"
     CodeHolder showAnnotationPane: false.
     UITheme currentSettings fastDragging: true.
     SystemWindow fullScreenMargin: 25.
     MorphicModel keyboardFocusOnMouseDown: true.
     UITheme currentAnimationSettings useAnimation: false.
     "etc ... "

PharoDevSettingStyle>>loadStyle
     self load

Then, in order to load the style, evaluate
PharoDevSettingStyle new load.

Or, if you don't want to search for where are the preferences and how to 
set them, simply,
open a SettingBrowser then set the settings then create a Style named 
'PharoDev'.
The PharoDevSettingStyle class will be created for you.

If we used to do this, I guess it was becuase most of the default 
preferences of the core image was different. Otherwise, this method 
doesn't have sense.
of course yes :)
