Hi Jimmie, Thank you for your feedback. Could you open a feature request on https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues <https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues> ?

I have been using Pharo a long time and was very accustomed to managing my own images. So I am still learning. It is nice to work with and it is nice to easily have whichever vm or image you are wanting to start with. > > However I would like one thing if possible. The advantage I had when managing my own and I can do a combination. Is that I always started a new terminal and then opened up Pharo and whichever image I wanted. This makes it neat and clean when running multiple images like I do, to have clean messaging and clean stdio when I write to stdio. With Pharo Launcher all stdio goes to its terminal and from whichever image has been started. I don't know how difficult this would be. But it would be nice if they were an option for Pharo Launcher to startup the new image from its own new terminal. Just an idea. > > Again.

Re: [Vm-dev] HiDpi support in MacOS

Is there a way to take advantage of that VM-change to enhance sharpness in Pharo 10 already on MacBook retina displays? Kind regards, Steffen Marcel Taeumel schrieb am Donnerstag, 28. April 2022 10:18:46 (+02:00): Hi all -- I documented this here: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/628 Best, Marcel Am 28.04.2022 09:51:22 schrieb Marcel Taeumel <marcel.taeumel(a)hpi.de>: Hi Juan -- Currently, we only use the backingScaleFactor. For current systems this can only ever be 1.0 or 2.0. I have yet to discover the macOS API that let's us work with native pixels for that other (older) form other scaling on macOS. I will open an issue for that. Best, Marcel Am 28.04.2022 00:39:12 schrieb Juan Vuletich <juanvuletich(a)zoho.com>: Hi Folks, I just discovered that the recent 202204190959 Mac VM includes Tobias HiDpi support on the Mac. This is very good news indeed, but It is not exactly what most users would prefer. On a Retina MacBook, you can set an apparent display resolution (System Preferences.../ Displays). By default, my 2019 15" MBP suggest half "real" resolution ("Looks like 1440x900" when LCD is 2880x1800). In this case, the new VM offers the true native resolution to Cuis / Squeak. So, in this case, it works perfectly well, and everything looks really great. The problem is that MacOs supports several other apparent resolutions. Many people, me included, prefer "Looks like 1680x1050" or "Looks like 1920x1200") to have more room for other Mac apps. But in these cases, the VM doesn't offer the LCD native resolution to Cuis / Squeak anymore. It offers twice the apparent resolution, i.e. 3360x2100 or 3840x2400. Then MacOs scales this higher virtual resolution to the actual 2880x1800, but it generates visual artifacts and a decrease in visual quality. For my own private use, the solution is to use the EasyRes application, and set the display to the true 2880x1800 resolution. When I do this, Cuis gets the corrrect Display size both with previous and newer VMs. But it would be great if there was a way for other Cuis / Squeak users to get their true Display resolution by default, and without needing to change OS settings each time they start their favorite Smalltalk.

Hi, I am working on a multi green and OS threaded implementation of Apple's Bonjour service discovery. I'd like to show the current Smalltalk process name in the Halt window title. Any clues are very much appreciated. Thanks, Stewart
