I am looking for the examples of deployed applications in Pharo: what are
the different variations of entry points into application that are proposed
when an application is deployed. For example, Dr. Geo provides its own
OS-type menu (File, Edit, etc.) and then the world menu is customized. Are
there any other examples of such deployed applications (preferably
open-source so that I can have a look at the code as well :-).
Hi,
i first tried to hide everything Pharo-related and tried to make my Pharo desktop application look as much like a "native" one-window-application as possible. This was frustrating and did not really succeed.
Now i hide the taskbar and add a menubar on the top of the Pharo window (like this:
http://forum.world.st/Menubar-at-the-top-of-Pharo-s-main-window-td4581236.html). So my Pharo application looks like a virtual (macos like) computer with own window system and this works really good.
I even provide a "Developer Menu" so people can access the developer tools and add a small info on where to learn about Pharo.
I start up everything like Dr. Geo does. This works very well. And like Dr. Geo i also provide a custom World-Menu and custom Application-Settings-Browser.
(Unfortunately it is a non-public application so i cannot share here.)
But i am very interested in this. Did you find any more examples? How did you solve it for your application? (Did you see this Thread:
