I think the left to right or right to left is probably a very opinionated thing (and I think Araxis, another tool Iâve used does it the other way around). However the colour coding is something that should properly communicate what is going on - and Iâm curious if anyone else has noticed it seems to be wrong (it sounds like for you its definitely confusing). I think there are known bugs in iceberg (not sure how much on the diff view - I also noticed that class comments donât seem to appear in the diff and I also see spurious method categorisation differences as well).

I didn't look at the iceberg diff right now. But I can say whenever I see a diff view in pharo it is so confusing I never know what I see. In the changes window I alwas switch from diff to source to see at least what I have now. Maybe a general problem how to put chronological change. And maybe for left-to-right readers to only way is older left - newer right

Hi Guys - when you launch the Synchronize window in iceberg - is it me, or are the colour highlights backwards (and possibly the ordering of the panes)?
If the left pane is my working copy, and I've added some code to a method - why does it appear in red on the left (which typically means deleted?). I notice that in IntelliJ (and other tools) your working changes are typically on the right and things you add are in Green on that right hand side.
I think that ordering and colour coding make more sense - from -> to, and red is deleted, green is added.
Of course I can live with the different pane ordering, but I think the colours might be wrong?
