Re: [Pharo-users] Exercism programming exercises for Pharo

by Ben Coman

Nice idea, but after poking around the site for a while, it looks like there is more to do than just seed solutions for some exercises. Some recipe for how students submit exercises would need to be written up. cheers -ben On Mon, Jan 30, 2017 at 11:01 PM, horrido <horrido.hobbies(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I created a Smalltalk track at Exercism: > https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk > <https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk> > > It would be nice if the Smalltalk community contributed some exercises to > help budding Smalltalkers. > > Thanks. > > > > -- > View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Exercism-programming-exercises-for-Pharo-tp4932215.ht… > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >

Re: [Pharo-users] These beautiful tooltips

"So in Pharo5 we have these 'beautiful' unreadable tooltips: tiny black font on light gray (ie. take a look to its squeak counter part, it looks so much more pro)" I am able to read the Pharo tooltips and I have a 6 degree myopia. Sure they can be improved a lot I would not call them pretty but at least for me they are good enough to useful and they rarely bother me.

For one sec I thought you wanted to perform an exorcism with Pharo, I know Pharo is pure technomagic but never assumed it is that powerful :D On Mon, 30 Jan 2017 at 17:04, horrido <horrido.hobbies(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I created a Smalltalk track at Exercism: > https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk > <https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk> > > It would be nice if the Smalltalk community contributed some exercises to > help budding Smalltalkers. > > Thanks. > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://forum.world.st/Exercism-programming-exercises-for-Pharo-tp4932215.ht… > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >

Thanks for the udpate. GTK binding? Thanks but no thanks, it does not fit for pro desktop application.

Re: [Pharo-users] Phobos and printing

The XULRunner was stopped to be supported in 2015. It can still run now but without security patches, support of the new OS versions etc. Mozilla is constantly decreasing capabilities of Firefox hacking. It is pity because there is no comparable alternative. Esteban is slowly working on GTK binding named Mars so you can ask on the current state of it.

Hi Ben, Here are Squeak and Pharo5 tooltips view. In regard First impression count, it is a big loose for Pharo5. Well this whole theme is horrible anyway, contrast is too low in too many part. In the past I remember to have fix it (not sure) but really I'm fed up of such negligence. I think something is not working properly in the Pharo process release. Another complain, why do we have now for Morph #setBallonText: and #helpText: to set tooltips? With my little resource, I am just itching the surface, I wonder how it is deep underneath.

Exercism programming exercises for Pharo

I created a Smalltalk track at Exercism: https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk <https://github.com/exercism/xsmalltalk> It would be nice if the Smalltalk community contributed some exercises to help budding Smalltalkers.

These beautiful tooltips

by Hilaire

Hi, So in Pharo5 we have these 'beautiful' unreadable tooltips: tiny black font on light gray (ie. take a look to its squeak counter part, it looks so much more pro) Is there a way to programmatically change the backround color? Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu
