Hi Sean.
By "accurately" I mean without any added extra space around the contents.
You should use #scrollTarget: to set the content of the scroll pane as a
whole (the default content is the blue morph you mention).
E.g.
|work scroll|
work := self newWorkAreaMorph.
scroll := GeneralScrollPane new
borderWidth: 0;
color: Color transparent;
hResizing: #spaceFill; vResizing: #spaceFill.
scroll
scrollTarget: work;
on: #mouseDown send: #selectByHandFromScroller: to: self page.
Or, assuming is in Pharo 2.0/3.0, the builder method.
scroller := UITheme builder newScrollPaneFor: self newSettingsGroup.
scroller
fillStyle: scroller scrollTarget fillStyle;
changeScrollerTableLayout;
vResizing: #spaceFill;
hResizing: #shrinkWrap.
Regards, Gary
