[Pharo-project] Pharo Theming: does anyone have some doc?
I am digging inside the UITheme and friends and wondered if there was any documentation about it. Googled already but not much turned up. I've got some success in the PharoTheme (fill-style) category and now have a decent grasp of how it works (it is strange to find a ton of glamorous-xxx methods in the private category of PharoTheme but well). I want to do a high contrast/dark theme for my own work as it would be better for accessibility. I find the Darcula theme pretty neat (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) and use it for work. Would be lovely to have some close thing for Pharo. TIA Phil
With Nicolas Petton we are currently working on a new Pharo theme too, and fixing hardcoded references from Morph along the way :) We didn't find documentation either, but if you have questions, we will be glad to (try to) answer them :) Ben PS: I attach a screen of the new theme as it is right now (still a lot to fix), just to give you a glance :) So if you have ideas, feedback ⦠you're welcome :) On Apr 4, 2013, at 3:26 PM, phil@highoctane.be wrote:

I should post it somewhere :) But first I need a configuration because the loading order is *really* important (since we are extracting morph behaviours and put them into Polymorph) Ben On Apr 5, 2013, at 2:40 PM, "Esteban A. Maringolo" <emaringolo@gmail.com> wrote:

Cool. Yes, my panes are gray too now. But at the end, I just redefined Color white to return something grayish... Too much things to change in too many places. And the Window color in the settings is absolutely not giving anything else than weird results (I tried with some kind of "Nuclear Green" and it really was "interesting". I want to do a theme looking like Adobe Lightroom or the editor that Still uses (around 55:00) Revision 2013 - Concept, Camera, Composition and Color https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPaQUZF_KZI&list=PLF0E68A8AD5BB6140&index=13 Also, the STHStyler80 class coloring schemes are nice and well, but without an editor, good luck w/ the colors. That's an area where spec would come in handy. About that, I read that some paper would surface explaining spec a bit more. I updated the SVN but didn't saw anything conclusive. Is there something? Also, I wonder what the relationship is with the color settings in the prefs. 2013/4/5 Benjamin <benjamin.vanryseghem.pharo@gmail.com>

Yes indeed, that is why we have extracted that into class methods :)

We hadn't tried SH yet (I was presuming this part to be a pain ^^) What you could do is maybe subclass what we are doing we Nico, to have less entry points (but since it's still work in progress :S) Our plan was to push it into the system not too late (like in one month or something) so we can then all iterate over ^^ Ben

We did not work on the spec tutorial there is only the old spec techreport available for now. Stef
