Re: [Pharo-users] About GTSpotter matching

Currently wildcard are not supported. I think this is in the roadmap of the GT team. But not supported for now. However, there is strictly no need for it.

Why is it that naming turns out to be the most challenging and also rewarding of activities at times? Lot's of ROI in a good name. It's strange, I'll have to think more about this naming activity and arrive at a good metaname. I think another good possibility you brought to my mind is "mushroom"...it's growing on me? :) On 12/06/2015 01:42 AM, Ben Coman wrote: > On Sun, Dec 6, 2015 at 10:42 AM, Robert Withers > <robert.w.withers(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> On 12/05/2015 09:24 PM, Ben Coman wrote: >>> On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 11:57 PM, Robert Withers >>> <robert.w.withers(a)gmail.com> wrote: >>>> Now I think you are right on with your observation.

OrderedSet?

by Peter Uhnak

Hi, what would be the equivalent of an OrderedSet? 1. all elements are unique 2. they are ordered 3. adding an existing element moves it so myOrderedSet addLast: x. "<- x is added as last" myOrderedSet addFirst: x. "<- x is moved from last to first" Thanks, -- Peter

The best colours might be different for standard versus dark theme, and make customising icons easier. I presume a user could then do what Phil wants by making their own theme subclass.
