could the size of Playground be reduced a bit
+1 on that. Please make it less tall. Itâs been a subconscious bother to me and now that Stef voiced it I realized it.

±1 The problem is that it is not only playground, but also an inspector. While I would like the window smaller in both dimensions (no script is that wide), it would sort of break "do it and go". One idea might be to increase it to the current size only when "do it and go" is executed (and the inspector is not opened yet). Because otherwise users of it would have to resize it manually very often - if it is the size of the original Workspace, the inspector is utterly useless. Peter

oh resizing is already mandatory I am afraid. When the object inspected is big, there is no other option but to resize the whole window. And many if not most useful Pharo objects worth inspecting are big. Plus resizing windows is part of the experience of using a window GUI system.

I rarely have to resize it (arguably I'm not using to full potential); but my point was that there should be sensible defaults for both primary (most common) use cases. You can never satisfy everyone 100%. Plus resizing windows is part of the experience of using a window GUI
system.
As a long time user of dwm the very idea of resizing windows with mouse is repulsive to me. (I still struggle in this respect with Pharo... but I have a dream. :)) Peter
Hi, In the latest GT-Playground and GT-Inspector you get the following behavior: - you can resize the windows, and the windows spawned afterwards will remember the dimensions, or - you can explicitly specify the size you prefer in the settings browser. https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/14541/Editing-the-default-inspector-window...

Even better than just reducing the fixed size. Thank you! Norbert
