[Pharo-project] Product Brand Pharo
Beginners always lament on the default look of Squeak. Hopefully this will change with Pharo and Truetype/Polymorph. Some comments on the pharo one click image: I dont know who builds the custom VM for Pharo - but the icon is the one from Seaside and should be replaced. There are various parameters in the *.ini file to product brand a squeak VM based application therefore I would also recommend to add the folling lines into the Pharo.ini file: WindowTitle=Pharo This sets the window title to Pharo instead of Squeak and QuitDialogMessage="Quit Pharo without saving?" QuitDialogLabel=Pharo adapts the quit message box of the VM. At least on Win32. See http://www.squeakvm.org/win32/settings.html It would also be good to have a splash screen with the logo or some decent looking graphics/logo combination. The splash screen typically is a *.bmp file located in the same directory as pharo.exe and the default name is splash.bmp. You can set up another name again in the pharo.ini file: SplashScreen="pharo.bmp" SplashTitle=Pharo SplashTime=2000 Attached is a modified Pharo.ini and a sample splash file. Just put it in the same directory as the EXE file for the one click install. Do we have access to professinal designer for a good looking splash/website/icons? Are there any plans regarding this? Thanks Torsten -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört? Der kann`s mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger

I did not look at the windows vm (besides coping the dlls there). The icon needs to be replaced.

Thanks a lot! One question: is the splash-screen really needed? On my mac it starts *extremely* fast. Instantly, actually.

Yes. Samuel Morello is our Designer. The website is nearly done, in addition there will be a Pharo theme for Polymorph. Gary and Samuel offert to collaborate on that. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- denker@iam.unibe.ch http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~denker
I don't see the point of a splash screen. I think it only makes sense if starting the application takes several seconds and the splash screen indicates how long it will take until it the app is ready (like with Photoshop). Apart from that, and especially if starting up only takes a second or two max, I don't see any use. Adrian On Sep 22, 2008, at 20:06 , Marcus Denker wrote:

Call me a convert! I just got my day job app switched over. Love the simplicity (and finally a great looking, free, open-source Smalltalk). On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 1:06 PM, Marcus Denker <denker@iam.unibe.ch> wrote:
