[Pharo-project] Window buttons
Hi Pharo team, I tried the last pharo-dev an besides all nice things you guys improve I also have some issues. First and foremost is the position and look of window buttons (minimize, maximize, close) which are now on the left and in three different colors, without knowing, what those colors mean. This is what I see on my Linux and I suppose this is an OS/X look&feel, am I right? I tried to find where in settings can I change that back to Linux/Win look@feel but without success. My question therefore is, how to change window buttons to be more Linux/Windows friendly? I'd also suggest that such platform specific look&feel is set automatically when image is started, the same goes also for middle mouse button swap. Both usability features are currently very user unfrendly for non-Mac users. Best regards Janko -- Janko Mivšek AIDA/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si
Open the Preference Browser (World Menu > System... > Preferences... > Preference Browser...) and change the uiTheme in the windows category (or search for "ui") and pick another theme. Unfortunately the noviceMode preference seems to have disappeared from Pharo (in Squeak, with that on, you'd get balloon help for the buttons).

I think this preference is useless in that case. Please provide tooltips in every cases. On my linux distribition, I've never noticed them but I've just verified that tooltips are present on these 3 buttons on all windows. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st
Anyone else for always having tooltips/balloon-help? Regards, Gary. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Damien Cassou" <damien.cassou@gmail.com> To: <Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Window buttons
