I've read the documents about getting halos activated in the first place. I'm on linux, where alt-shift middle-click (I'm still trying to get the button colors down) generally works.
In the lights out sample, it doesn't. I can ctrl-shift "left" click, get a giant menu, and select "Add Halo." That puts a halo around the individual cell. If I close it, it disappears and shows a blue background (which I'm starting to suspect is a default for morphics...is that close?).
Strange I do not get it. normally the halso should be displayed when you click and option shift (but I'm on mac)
I'm starting to think this may be some sort of bug with the linux version. I get the impression that the Squeak developers were heavily tilted toward linux.
not really since we were a lot of squeakers moving to pharo and on mac.
Is the same true of Pharo?
Thank you, James

OK, cool. That makes me feel a lot safer about my suspicions. So I'll keep doing what I can to learn, and contribute back if I actually get that far. Is there some sort of reference about why the fork was made? I'm sure there were a lot of politics (icck) involved), and pharo feels a lot more solid than squeak ever did, but I'm curious about the real reasons. The website's "we felt the project was moving in the wrong direction" just implies a lot without really saying anything. I don't want to dig skeletons out of the closet or bring up any old hard feelings. I'm just curious. Thank you, James
