These enhancements would allow me to start keeping the docking bar on
the desktop. Does anyone else feel a clock and "search" (just a TextMorph) bar would be worthy additions to the Docking Bar?

I really liked the idea though there were two issues with the implementation: One is that it did something odd to the menu bar layout (making the menu bar twice as high) and second, the search should be some sort of "smart" search where you can type class names, selectors, fragments and get something useful as the result.

I like the idea of a search bar, but it would be better if it were more than just a TextMorph. I'd like it to have history (accessible by pressing the up and down keys) which is searchable (by entering a filter expression) and a keyboard shortcut to move the keyboard focus right there. The clock may be useful, but my os has one already, so that should have a preference IMHO.

I had hoped someone would easily see what I was doing wrong. I may give it another try since you've blessed the idea. > and second, the search should be some > sort of "smart" search where you can type class names, selectors, fragments > and get something useful as the result. TextMorph does all of this now, in addition to also being a calculator, or even a simple workspace for benchmarking simple expressions. You can type a class name, selector, fragment, and get something useful by pressing the appropriate command key (iMplementors, seNders, or Browse). I've been using a standard one-line TextMorph at the top of my image for a couple of years now, and, I can tell you, it is very useful. I even have mine set to "autoFit" because, every once in a while, you want a "temporary second line" to avoid wiping out the first. I've also come to appreciate TextMorph in lieu of workspaces sometimes. The window framing feels "weighty" once you get used to free-floating TextMorph workspace (which can have its background shaded a translucent color to identify its background if you want). With just two simple gestures, I am able to halo and drag off a duplicate of the TextMorph in the bar. (I do still use workspaces too, though). To me, it is this kind of incredibly high functional-density that has always attracted me to Squeak, and was a great inspiration for my UI principles today. In the interests of time and virtues of step-wise, incremental improvement, could we start simple with just a TextMorph and see how you like it? > Cheers, > - Andreas > >> >> >> On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 7:23 PM,<[hidden email]> wrote: >>> >>> Chris Muller uploaded a new version of Morphic to project The Trunk: >>> http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Morphic-cmm.401.mcz >>> >>> ==================== Summary ==================== >>> >>> Name: Morphic-cmm.401 >>> Author: cmm >>> Time: 27 March 2010, 7:23:12.94 pm >>> UUID: 63d287a0-2b83-479a-8c1c-0938383fa6cc >>> Ancestors: Morphic-cmm.400 >>> >>> Reverted my experimental search bar and clock because they aren't >>> properly integrated into the Docking bar.

We can turn off the seconds of the clock, so it will be elegant and not distracting. If we did all that would it be sufficient to avoid the need for a preference? |
