To complement Stefâs comment: Spec is the default UI builder framework for Pharo and considered as âthe way to goâ for building user interfaces of the kind that you are describing. Considering the features of Spec, I think it should have virtually all that you need and will be certainly much easier to use than lower-level Morphic stuff. Check out the chapter that Stef pointed out, and if there are any issues or questions do not hesitate to post on this list! On Oct 17, 2014, at 1:29 PM, stepharo <stepharo@free.fr> wrote:
Hi craig
The examples are in the class WidgetExample or ExampleWidget. Now we are not happy from a design point of view of having all these widgets creation on UITheme. You can also use Spec. There is a draft of chapters on https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/838/artifac...

Hi All,
I'm new to Pharo although not to Smalltalk. I did dabble with Dolphin about 20 years ago, when it was first being developed, and did some quite cool stuff.
This time around I chose Pharo because I feel that Dolphin has strayed from the pure OO model that I enjoyed back then.
I've chosen a fairly ambitious GUI project as my Pharo primer. The problem is - which GUI framework to use. The GUI that I want to build will be static but complex with a menu, 2 toolbars, 20 odd toolbar buttons, and 3 (dockable?) windows, containing Trees, lists and text editors.
Any suggestions on which GUI framework would suit?
I thought about using PolyMorph, but I cannot find the examples in my Pharo 3 image.
