Squeak map colours See Mantis #3445

Hi Michael,

Its not just you. I put a mantis report up a while
back.


http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=3445

In 7021 SMPackageLoader is initialized with a
transparent gradient. This causes unexpected color
changes.

In response to your curiosity and Stef's interest, I
looked into it some more and added the analysis to the
report. Question now is where is the best place to
attack the problem. Suggestions and/or working code
welcome.

Yours in service, -- Jerome Peace

Hi!

It is late etc, but I just wanted to mention a new SMLoader is on SM. It
avoids the problem by using the instvar model instead of squeakMap.
Yeah, a workaround but hey - I am not a Morphic guy and this workaround
is still "kosher".

Btw, ArchiveViewer also had issues before with colors (it was very white
for example) but it uses the model instvar - so doesn't get transparent
in 3.9 at least. :) But I still think it is whiter than it should be. As
a sidenote - I looked at ArchiveViewer as an example when I build
SMLoader. I still think a subclass of SystemWindow should be able to
hold its own state - *if it wishes to*.

Also, note that I haven't bothered thinking about the actual color
itself - it looks pretty crappy and I wish it to be somewhat yellow like
before.

Also, if you do "Flaps reinstateDefaultFlaps" then you get a package
loader in the Tools flap! :) Yup, been there for a while but the flaps
in the image haven't been initialized in a while I think.

PS. Will scrabble on Mantis, just not tonight. Feel free to help me.
