Re: [Pharo-users] Phobos and printing

by Pavel Krivanek

So I tried to run Phobos on Pharo 6 and it is able to run fine with the old Json package. It only needed two simple patches. To convert Phobos to NeoJSON will require some extra effort. In next days I will put the code on the Git repository. Cheers, -- Pavel 2017-01-31 20:19 GMT+01:00 kmo <voxkmp(a)gmail.com>: > I'm afraid not.

I'm afraid not. But I did start experimenting with Phobos and thought it was a very capable framework. Then I was put off a bit when it stopped being compatible with later versions of pharo.

Now personally I don't really like yellow there for the tooltip. I think it clashes with the blue-ness of the rest of the theme. To keep in harmony with the blue of the theme? how would you consider the tooltip matching the selection colour... Pharo3Theme>>balloonBackgroundColor ^self selectionColor. or slightly lighter like this... Pharo3Theme>>balloonBackgroundColor ^Color cyan muchlighter. Any opinions from the rest of the community on making one of those two default? cheers -ben

I mean no offense to Esteban, I appreciate him well (he slept a couple of days at my place :) but GTK looks so odd on Mac and OSX desktop, then it is not that much well featured. There are richer alternative like wxWidget or Qt. Le 30/01/2017 Ã 16:45, Hilaire a Ã©crit : > GTK binding?
