Hi Tim,

You could also give GTInspector a try for a more fine tuned approach to finding a morph. Take a look here:

In older versions of Squeak pharo - I think alt-click would cycle you through
halos on objects in the UI.

I have noticed in Pharo 3/4 - if I ctrl+shift click I get a menu that has
many options, one of which is "add halo" - but how do I control which UI
element I will get a halo on? Similarly - there is "inspect" in this menu,
and it does give me a list of widgets (saying deepest first) - however I
can't easily see which element corresponds with what is in the list?

I know the old squeak halo system wasn't favoured - but now I try and find
things in Pharo 3/4 - I miss the ability to visually cycle through items to
understand what I can inspect?

Is there no way to do this now? It was very useful.

Tim
