Shortening flash: time to 50 ms

Hi All,

would anyone object if I set the DisplayScreen>>#flash: time to 50ms, down from 100ms? I find the 100ms noticeably slow, and I'm getting on in years, so I feel that its unnecessarily slow for many others too. So as I asked, any objections?

Hi, Eliot.

This is used only in MVC, right? :) Sure, you can reduce the delay, maybe even make a preference for it.

Out of curiosity, can when do you use DisplayScreen >> #flash:?
Why is #flash: different from #flash:andWait:? That is, why is there another delay at the end of the method?

Best,
Marcel

Thanks.

I don't. I see it being used by code around the system. I notice that Morph>>flash is tied to the world's refresh rate (IIUC). Nice.
