The fact that we are talking about this background issue shows that
the whole sitatuation is pretty relaxed ..... The 4.1 release is really a milestone! Hannes On 4/22/10, Casey Ransberger <[hidden email]> wrote: > Easy to do.

Hello
Maybe the background loader with preview (25-Apr-2004 tested in Squeak 3.7) could be lifted to Squeak 4.1 http://squeak.preeminent.org/ This would involve a re-release under an MIT license, i.e. committed to the inbox. Steve Wessels tested two of his games successfully in Squeak 4.1 Hannes P.S. I bcc this email to Steve. Hello Steve may I ask you to have a look at the thread on the Squeaklist about changing the background in Squeak. http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/149332.html I cc this email because you invite for feedback on your website http://squeak.preeminent.org/ On 4/22/10, Hannes Hirzel <[hidden email]> wrote: > The fact that we are talking about this background issue shows that > the whole sitatuation is pretty relaxed ..... > > The 4.1 release is really a milestone! > > Hannes > > On 4/22/10, Casey Ransberger <[hidden email]> wrote: >> Easy to do.

He has pushed it into the inbox http://source.squeak.org/inbox/DesktopBackgroundLoader-sbw.20.mcz You may file it in and enjoy a new menu entry in the 'Extras' menu which allows you to choose a jpg or png as your desktop background. It includes some options like 'center' / 'tiling' and more. The amazing thing in Squeak is that you may have a different background in every project. You may have different 'working rooms' with different backgrounds in your image. Thank you Stephen! --Hannes |
