Re: [Pharo-users] Spec and Morphs

Great. Just what I wanted. Many thanks. But consider putting it in the spec documentation - I think it's an important thing to know. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-Morphs-tp4744084p4744109.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] TextModel and TextInputFieldModel font-size bug?

by kmo

Yes - thanks. Seems the model is based on PluggableTextFieldMorph - and /PluggableTextFieldMorph new openInWindow/ gives the same tiny font. Must be due to a default font size somewhere. But isn't atha bug in itself? Shouldn't it default to the standard text size of the interface theme? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/TextModel-and-TextInputFieldModel-font-size-bug-tp474… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Did you tried with morph? Because for me I would say it happens more at a Morphic level Ben On 16 Feb 2014, at 14:55, kmo <voxkmp(a)gmail.com> wrote: > When I create an interface in Spec with TextModel or TextInputFieldModel, the > font-size is tiny.

TextModel and TextInputFieldModel font-size bug?

by kmo

When I create an interface in Spec with TextModel or TextInputFieldModel, the font-size is tiny. Same behaviour in both Windows and Linux. Is this a bug or have I missed something important? <http://forum.world.st/file/n4744094/SmallFont.png> -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/TextModel-and-TextInputFieldModel-font-size-bug-tp474… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Spec model attributes - is there a strategy

by kmo

I was wondering about how the attributes of Spec models are decided on. Why does LabelModel have no font attribute? It seems obvious to me that a label should have a font. Why should LabelModel have no font attribute but an emphasis attribute? Why are we able to specify a font for a header in TreeColumnModel but not for the text in a TextInputFieldModel? Is there some deep philosophical reason behind this that I don't understand? It seems to me that Spec produces interfaces that look like the pharo interface. Spec does not give you control over fonts and colours. But if you want to write an application you might well want a particular Look and Feel. Spec currently doesn't seem to allow this - you would have to fall back on to simple Morphs. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-model-attributes-is-there-a-strategy-tp4744089.h… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Spec and Morphs

by kmo

I looked at Spec when it was first introduced. Then I left it alone until now when the API is more stable. I seem to recall that when Spec was first introduced I was able to simply add arbitrary Morphs to the Composable model layout. In the latest Spec, I do not seem able to do this. Is this just me? Have I just forgotten how I used to do it? Is there still a simple way to use Spec to organise morphs? If there is, can someone provide an example? Do you really have to write your own MorphicAdaptor for any morph you wish to use that doesn't already have a Spec model? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-Morphs-tp4744084.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

by kmo

I would be happy to write some Spec documentation - when I start to understand it better. I've gained some idea of how the TreeModel works so perhaps i could do something on that and you could roll it into the Spec documentation somewhere. Just a suggestion. Meanwhile expect a barrage of questions about Spec on this mailing list as I start to look at Spec more closely. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ANN-Spec-documentation-in-PFTE-book-finished-tp474303… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
