i was just wondering whether there were any /definite/ plans to free Morphic from the one window restriction - apart from the obvious/ it will be done when someone gets the time/ inclination/ money to do it/? Is this something we can expect in Pharo 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0? The current limitation is not a problem if your app uses a large window and all its other windows can fit easily inside it - but if you have a small application with a small main window (for example a minesweeper or soduku game) then you can't even fit in the load/save game dialog. I know I'm not saying anything new, but I was just wondering whether this was on a roadmap somewhere. ken -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-and-the-Morphic-one-window-limitation-tp4735921....

No, there are no official plans. There are plans to free pharo from the evil window initialization through vm, but no multiwindows support. But there are some no official plans to do it, and one of them is my own (Mars) which will allow you to dispatch morphs in separated windows, but is not usable (and it will not be for some time).

I had a quick look at Mars and thought it was fantastic! I was really impressed by the demo. is Mars still being improved/ developed? I haven't heard anything new for a couple of months.

yes, but morphic is not alpha and omega. once we will be able to free ourselves from 1 window 1 display slavery, it will open much more options.

It's called Phobos. Thanks, but my question was a general one - I wasn't looking for an immediate alternative to Morphic.
