[4.1] How do I change the screen background?

Hannes Hirzel
Hello

How do I change the screen background?

I was searching for
    'background'
    'screen'
    'world'
in the preferences browser but did not find anything.

Nothing in the 'Extras' menu either.

So it must be a code snippet, which one?

* from the world menu, choose "appearance..."

or

* drop an image into Squeak, form its halo menu button choose "set as background"

or

* bring up the world's halo, click the pink "change color" handle

or

* shift-click the halo's pink "change color" handle, edit the property sheet

or

* click the halo's gray "paint background" handle, draw something nice

or

* from the red menu button in the halo, choose "fill style"

Well, that works too :)

But you could also paint a little dot, and create a simple script by drag-and-drop to paint nice patterns:

Hi Hannes,


WorldMenu>appearence will give you the appearance  menu.

Pin it down.

then select pick desktop color and pick one.
then select pick gradient color and pick a second.
Background becomes a interesting gradient.

Alternately forget the appearance menu.

Pick a graphic file to be your background.

Drag and drop it on the image. This will open a Sketch morph with the graphic.

Bring up the morphs haloes.
From the red menu choose>set as background.

This will tile the sketch image onto the background.

hTH,

Yours in curiosity and service, Jerome Peace
