Yep, that helped. I guess that means that halos are always enabled as I could find no Preference (or Setting) to control it. Would that be considered an 'error' in the book/pdf? Should I submit this on the books discussion list?
 
And thanks for pointing to that documentation. If it's linked from the main Pharo website, I couldn't find it.

I'm new to Pharo and I'm going through the PBE book (yep, I bought it). I'm using the image that goes with the book on Windows XP Pro.
 
I can't get halos around any morphs and I don't see a setting in the Preferences browser (I notice this was changed to Settings in later releases).
 
I tried evaluating
 
Preferences enable: #halosEnabled
 
but it had no effect.
 
Interestingly, I can get halos around the the World menu with alt+left-click, but once I pin it, I can no longer get the halos.
 
What am I missing?
