Re: [Pharo-users] Styling a Pharo UI application

by Yuriy Tymchuk

Look at spotter. It is not super fancy, but it has all the margins done right, it does not have extra borders and all this little details. If you have seen Brick widgets they have all the nice proportions, they are not over encumbered by details, they have nice animations, they have nice gamma. There are small details everywhere. Ok, maybe Iâve exaggerated with âuglyâ, but when I was deciding between Pharo and Squeak (I had to choose what will I use for my programming class), I opened Squeak, saw the strange greenish background, some mouse face, and windows with the style of 90s. Then I opened Pharo and it had this OS X-ish look so definitely I choose Pharo. Now style guides have changed. We have dropped watery look of OS-X but now we have turned into OS9 with all the rectangular gray widgets. I know that we donât have designers to inverted something cool, but what GT teem did is they took Google material design guidelines and implemented widgets in Pharo, so if I use them it will be pleasant to the userâs eye. Otherwise we are saying how cool Pharo is and how good we are, but a random Android developer can build nicer interface because they have this sexy widgets. And yes, in the end for me the big turn off with Spec is the direct example with Tommaso. You know that something is wrong, so you want to change the size of a font. And then you ask on the mailing list and it turns out that itâs not that easy and you have to either hack something, or submit patch to Specâ¦ In the end Iâve decided to use plain morphic because at least there I can change whatever I want.

So at this point I think WTF? > > Why does this happen? Because the "default" group in many projects contains all of the packages and dependencies of the project. I thought at first this is wrong but in the meantime I think it is right. Whenever a configuration is loaded without additional parameters the "default" group gets loaded. This is the best scenario for newcomers (e.g. using the catalog to load). They don't know better but want to see what the package has to offer. Fine, we should support that. > > For managing projects this gets annoying really quick like you can see above. It would always load all dependencies and all packages of every project that your own project depends. This is a no-go. To circumvent this a lot of people add a "core" group to their configurations (loading the essential parts). This is great because in my own project I can add a dependency to a project and load only the "core" group. This works if the dependency chain is not very long (at best it works in depth 1 ;) ). As soon as a project has two interesting groups the problem gets worse. A good example is magritte. It is useful for describing your model as well as it contains useful seaside components. The moment I add a dependency from my model package to magritte seaside I know it is wrong. I find myself sometimes duplicating dependencies just to mitigate the effect.
