Hi Gast�n,
Hi
�
I did not look at your change yet, sorry :),
No problem Laurent, many mails to read:) What I do is also send a mail to the list, send to your email as well.
�
and I'm not sure to understand. Could you write a test to characterize�this please ?
I write a test, to do the following (but you can load this method and you can do now at hand to understand what I mean): maximize a window, use topWindowMoveTop, then topWindowMoveBottonLeft. The result is that the window is 1 / 8 the size of the screen (I attach screenshot). With the resolution size of the current monitors or the possibility of having multiple monitors and extend the main window Pharo through these, using windows of 1 / 4 of the screen can be a waste, plus there are tools that do not need more a small space.
Moreover, this way you can only have 4 move operations: topWindowMoveTop / Bottom / Left / Rigth, since the rest of you combined the above.
�
I've implemented automatic refresh (see TilingWMSettings class>>initialize). May break the first time you load it if you have a version before the change.
Yes, I see, thanks.
�
There's a first shot of GUI controls for world snapshot / navigation but it needs more work to be intuitive.
There are many new features, it is time to make a new screencast:)

Laurent.
Laurent, coincidere change this method (o part of):
TilingWM>>newTopWindowBoundsInArea: aBlock
SystemWindow topWindow bounds: (aBlock value: world clearArea).
to this one:
TilingWM>>newTopWindowBoundsInArea: aBlock
| topWindow |
(topWindow := SystemWindow topWindow) isMaximized
ifTrue: [ topWindow expandBoxHit. topWindow bounds: (aBlock value: world clearArea) ]
ifFalse: [ topWindow bounds: (aBlock value: topWindow bounds) ]
For one hand this solve the problem of maximized state on moved window, and for other hand apply recursive "moving" of window based in their current bounds (but not usable display area) if that is not in state maximize (I choose this rule for my convenience).

When I load new version of this package, I use the Settings to see new version de la barra, but the old version keep visible too, and I use SHIFT-ALT-Click to see the halos and remove this. Is possible clean up of older versions of bar automatically?

And I see that you comming work in TWMWindowSnapshot :) I like it, I hate wasting time accommodating the size and position of the windows manually because I want to have another hearing, again and again!
