How to move the X in Squeak windows to the right side?

Administrator

Squeak windows has the X to close window button on the left side, which is opposite of Windows OS. How can I switch the X to the right side?

Thanks,

You would need to modify code in SystemWindow>>initializeLabelArea. Note that you'll probably damage your image if you accidently add bad code there.

Alternatively, you could get used to the close button being on the left side. If something is different, it does not mean it is wrong.

I am suggesting that there should be a preference setting to set the X on the right or left. How can I suggest this to the Squeak team?

You would write code that implements this functionality. Then you would submit that code to http://bugs.squeak.org/ for review.

This isn't trivial but has been done. See also Customizing the Squeak UI .

Or load UI Enhancements and choose the "Vistary" theme. Alternatively, subclass one of the other themes and override #themeName on the class side (to have unique name) and #configureWindowLabelAreaFor:on the instance side to change the order of items in the label area.
