Re: [Pharo-users] Making the halo around windows preview more contrasted

Jan. 27, 2015

      Thanks Nicolai,

I used an approach suggested by Merwan Ouddane in a private mail that 
consisted in changing "UITheme>>taskListFillStyleFor:" inside 
PolymorphWidgets Themes package changing the GradientFillStyle

This is my result:

===============================================
taskListFillStyleFor: aTasklist

	| aColor result |
	aColor := aTasklist color.
	result := GradientFillStyle ramp: {
			0.0->aColor whiter whiter. 0.2->aColor muchDarker.
			0.8->aColor darker. 1.0->aColor muchDarker}.
	^ result		
		origin: aTasklist topLeft;
		direction: 0 @ aTasklist height;
		radial: false;
		yourself.
===============================================

Which is easier and more pleasant to my eyes

Cheers,

Offray

Hi all,
As usual, when I put the mouse over the name of a window, a small preview
     appears with a grey allow with the full name of the window, but letters are
     white surrounded by a pale grey making the full name really difficult to
     read. There is any way to increase the contrast there between font and
     background?
This is defined in UIThemeWatery>>#newTaskbarThumbnailIn: aThemedMorph for: aWindow
It looks better with the WateryTheme, because it uses a darker background.
You can:
- define your own theme as a Subclass of Pharo3Theme and overwrite this method
- change the background(color) of the world.
Thanks,
Offray
