I'd say that it is not intuitive at first but the abilities of the GT inspector are really making up for any inconvenience.

As for the GT debugger, I've been running in a couple of problems, namely that stepping when restarting hasn't been working properly after a couple times.

Also, I miss the "run to here" option that was in the debuggers before. It looks like gone.

Why? It is a common option in all languages.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Of course, they are not used anywhere else at this point just because the inspector is the first tool that was integrated into Pharo :).

You say they are meaningless, but in fact you seem to have no problem with what they are and how they work. And you found it out by yourself. I agree that it is a different interface than anything else out there, but that is not a negative thing. Actually, we also tried other variations, but this was the one we stuck with, and most people seem to not have a problem with it. What do you mean by "video controller buttons"?

And, you are right in that the contrast is not proper in the Pharo theme. This will change. In the meantime, here is how they look like in the WhitespaceTheme

Is this better?

Cheers,

Doru

Well, one man's intuitive is another man's completely obscure. In the pharo
context, the dots are a completely new navigation widget - used nowhere else
- and their function is unclear. I think part of the problem is that the
dots do not appear on any kind of obvious toolbar - they are more or less
just dots on the bottom of the window. There is no visual cue that they have
any function at all. They could be mere decoration. Just my two cents.
