SystemWindow

If I put my morphic creation in a window is there any way to remove the
window afterwards? Also I notice that setting the window colour is a bit
odd. Only the border colour changes. Then by setting solid fill off the
background can be set by the gradient colour and then putting solid fill
back on the colour remains. Is this deliberate behaviour?

Regards
Bob

Did you try:

s:=SystemWindow new openInWorld.
s color: (Color red)?

It changes the color of the window but not the label area in 3.8. In 3.9
it changes the color of the entire window.

I have a PasteupMorph containing my UI. If I go to the halo menu and
'extras/put in window' it puts a system window round the PasteUpMorph.
However there is no 'remove from window' but then I can't seem to get a
halo to the PasteUpMorph anymore so I can't be sure there wouldn't be a
remove option.

No, but I would need to see how to programmatically wrap the window
round something existing in the world. Maybe just changing its owner
would work.

Try to examine the openInWindow method in Morph class. That's exactly
what happens if you
trigger the extras/put in a window menu option.

Thanks, I can work it out from there. I still tend to forget everything is there to look at.
