How to resize a submorph according to itâs owner?
by Helene Bilbo March 22, 2011

March 22, 2011

Hi, when i embed a Morph A into a Morph B and then resize B, A stays the same size. I would like A to resize proportional accroding to the resizing of B. In the Halo-Menu there is a LayoutPolicy that can be set to ProportionalLayout - but that seems not to change anything. Can anyone give me a hint?

Do you have a tool that works on Pharo ?
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 21, 2011

March 21, 2011

ifTrue: [ self writeOnPharoBook: aTool] We need to improve our documentation. Right now, we have a collaborative book where everyone can join and write: http://book.pharo-project.org/ Here we have a list of tools that run on Pharo: http://book.pharo-project.org/book/PharoTools and it is REALLY important to have such list updated and maintained. So, if you have a tool that works in pharo and it is not there, please add it. If you don't have a user, I can create one for you. If you are TOO lazy, you can send by email the text to me and I write it. Thanks Mariano

Laying out Morphs with submorphs outside their bounds
by Sean P. DeNigris March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

I created a ThoughtBalloonMorph seen here (think of a cartoon if you can't see the image): http://forum.world.st/file/n3376956/Screen_shot_2011-03-15_at_March_15%2C_2… It is an invisible morph with three submorphs: * an EllipseMorph with an embedded TextMorph * two small CircleMorphs leading from the thinker to the thought. The problem is that the #bounds of the Morph is 0@0 (for the invisible Morph). Thus, when I add it to a PasteUpMorph with #shrinkWrap resizing, the submorphs are not taken into account and may be cut off, as seen here: http://forum.world.st/file/n3376956/Screen_shot_2011-03-15_at_March_15%2C_2… What's the best way to overcome this? Thanks. Sean p.s. if you're not viewing this on Nabble, did the images work? (I added them on Nabble.) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Laying-out-Morphs-with-submorphs-outside-their-bounds… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[ANN] Last SqueakDBX release and news!
by Mariano Martinez Peck March 18, 2011

March 18, 2011

Hi folks. We just wanted to let you know that we released SqueakDBX 1.3, which is a minor release with some bugfixes, code clean up, and integration of some functionality that others developed. For more details about this small release please check: http://www.squeakdbx.org/ChangeLog As you may know, ESUG sponsored once again SqueakDBX. However, this is the last release of SqueakDBX with this name. The project was finally renamed to DBXTalk, since we can reuse the class prefix ;) joke. For the moment we are starting to work in a new repository, but this is just for us. You, as developer, right now, have to use the repository and configuration as always. Just forget about DBXTalk for now ;) Cheers SqueakDBX team

As you may have read, ESUG is sponsoring once again SqueakDBX, but we renamed it to DBXTalk. But this is still private, broken, and we are developing there. YOU must stay using SqueakDBX repository, with the Metacello configurations in MetacelloRepostirory...like if nohing had happened ;) Once DBXTalk is ready, we will let you know.
