Window size: look at ClyBrowserMorph>>initialExtent
Hi Guys,It seems to me the default size of a lot of windows is too small, so after some search and thanks to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55102480/how-do-i-change-the-default-height-of-the-system-browser by Marko GrdiniÄ I discovered I can change the default size of many type of windows simply changing ClyBrowserMorph>>initialExtent.HTH It would be good to be able to manage the size of windows in Settings CheersDavide
Davide - why don't you submit a PR? I'm sure you can figure out how to add a settings to the system (can't offhand remember, but there are examples - and you can ask on the discord) and it would be a nice contribution to make . Its all the little contributions that make the system better - I know I've been there, and saw how the others do it and so had a go.

Hi Tim, I get it and appreciate your suggestion. My approach to contribute to the Pharo community is when I can solve an issue to post my solution or a workaround on this list, I know pushing code to github would be better but I canât do more than this actually, sorry.

Davide - I encourage you to consider whether you can do that tiny bit more from "posting a working on this list". You can of course choose what you want, and Pharo is free for everyone, but as is often mentioned - its a project that belongs to everyone and the more we can each do, the better (and quicker) it gets. I too started out thinking I was too busy, and that posting a solution that "others" could run with was enough - but then I noticed how busy some of the key people are, fixing things that are beyond my perceived capability. And it dawned on my that I could at least create an issue on Github with my poposed fix and some more details around the problem (and maybe post that here to widen conversation) - this at least made things more efficient to get fixed. And then I noticed sometimes those fixes never got applied, and I realised that those key people really are super busy and I want them to fix/improve the harder stuff - and honestly - it wasn't that much harder to launch a fresh image - create branch, apply my fix and submit a PR - in fact I learned a lot more doing it AND I helped those busy people too. win/win. So why not consider giving it a go next time? In fact your settings idea would be a great one to flex your passion on? Of course - posting a fix is helpful - but at least create the issue.
