- Issue 185: More World menu cleanup needed (includes the following improvements: mouse-over sub-menus, capitalize tool names, exchange single with double change sorter) - Issue 282: Increase default window sizes - Issue 283: Remove fonts and change default font choices - Remove remaining flaps - ScriptLoader>>#cleanUpForRelease: flushes a lot of caches and deletes bitmaps from EToys to decrease the memory footprint The last one reduces the image size on disk to 10.2MB. Adrian BTW, if you want to go below the magical 10MB boundary, do "SystemProgressMorph reset." (I couldn't do this in the update because it would blow up the system as the progress morph is used when loading software updates).
The update works well. Some issues and ideas: - The new world menu rocks. However I find it slightly confusing that some items can be found at two different locations. I would expect to find the transcript next to the workspace. Also the keyboard shortcuts are missing. - Browsing seems to be much slower than before. I don't know exactly why, but it could be related to the font changes? Scrolling lists (in the Browser, in Monticello) is horribly slow. Italic letters are strangely spaced. The issues disappear when I set all the fonts to Accuny. Cheers, Lukas On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 7:08 PM, Adrian Lienhard <adi@netstyle.ch> wrote:

The idea here is that the most used tools are accessible at the top level. These are shortcuts and therefore these tools appear again at the second level. There, you also find the workspace next to the transcript. I chose these four tools because I think they are most used. For example, I myself open workspaces much more often than transcripts. If people think that the shortcuts are not useful I would remove them altogether. We can wait a bit and see what the feedback is.
Also the keyboard shortcuts are missing.
yep, we should add them.

Strange, I don't feel any slowdown. If there is a reason it likely is the font change. We can check on Wednesday. Adrian

me neither. I learned a cool shortcut with noury ctl , to revert to a non edtied method in the browser. stef
I don't have italics anymore (not even simulated). Also, a funny one: click to show the world menu, then mouse over the items in the middle section repeteadly. The menus get whiter each time they are displayed :) Maybe menus have to be ironed to fix the color to the pixels, like print-your-logo t-shirts ? I was thinking, if freetype is integrated and we want to use platform fonts as a default, then there should be code to switch all basic fonts to various settings depending on the conditions, like bitmap fallback, dejavu truetype, and maybe mac truetype (lucida or gill sans + monaco) and vista truetype (calibri + consolas). Demo mode would be just another font theme. On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 10:08 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> wrote:
