[squeak-dev] How to change icons in the docking bar of Squeak 3.9?

Hi,
I'm interested in some customization of the Squeak docking bar (Squeak 3.9). I'm not a programmer so I'm asking for the easiest way to change these icons in the docking bar. it is possible? It is legally acceptable? I plan to give publicly available the customized version.

All the best,

Hello, Luis!

It should be possible to load customized icons without programming.
TheWorldMainDockingBar loads icons from MenuIcons class, which has
import and export features. I haven't tried import features yet but
here what it probably looks like.

You would have to name all your files according to what you will find
(using a class browser) in the class side of MenuIcons, protocol
"private - icons" (and maybe in one or two other protocols). Any
methods ending by "icon" are your filename. (e.g.
configurationIcon.gif, confirmIcon.gif, etc.).

Once you have every files (gif format) into your Squeak's root
directory, you should "do it" on the following:

MenuIcons importAllIcons; initialize.

And there you should see your icons in your world dock bar. Reload the
bar if you don't see them.

Ian

You're welcome, Luis.

I should have first suggested to "do it" on the following:

MenuIcons exportAllIconsAsGif.

It will export all the current icons (both small and normal size)
which would be easier for you to figure out what to replace. There are
around 65 icons.

Ian
