Controlling the Pharo window

Is there a way to move the pharo window around, resize it and generally control it ? 

And on Linux/X11: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/NativeBoost/NativeBoost.pier.html

In Pharo you can check for OSPlatform and add accordingly the operation
you want to do in your host window, for each specific OS.

Then, in your appls will do something like:

Smalltalk os maximiseHostWindow
[...]

Another solution could be the HostWindowPlugin.

Look at DisplayScreen class >> hostWindowXXXX

This could be platform independent but I don't know if it works on all platforms:

12231

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: not working on Linux (ubuntu)

Thank Hilaire , I understand how to wrap my code to a cross platform class. Definetly will look at (have done already previously) DrGeo as most likely I will rely heavily on Morphic.

Nicolai ,I tried this code in Windows and works

DisplayScreen hostWindowSize: 500@500. 

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: 'hello'.

Will check it on MacOS when I get home :)

What I want to create is a custom gui that resizes to a small size and locates to the left side of the screen as a long left panel that can be use like a Dock bar for Pharo and Blender, and who knows even for OS stuff.

Check the OSWindow bug entry on fogbugz because soon we will integrate it.
OSWindow is an API to call/control windows from the OSes developed by Ronie and Igor.

Then we will bind to SDL so that we can get the same underlying system on all platform.
But there is still some work to do and too many things to do.
