Re: who is using softSqueak and standard Squeak

Hi helene

this is not a question quarrels. I'm over that since some moment now.
This is a question of removing/cleaning/organizing. So we will remove softSqueak and package it and save into the
PharoTheme project so that people can load it if they want.
I would like to get some beautiful looks that look like today standard.

My first look yesterday night taught me that different windows colour management is a basic behaviour of UITheme via #patchworkUIThemeColorFor:.
If I simply subclass UITheme and do nothing more I get more or less a standard squeak theme with coloured windows minus some fills and borders styles.

From here I think I could try to make a simple theme with the look of Glamourous one with support for squeak windows colour management.
Is this the right direction ?

Yes!

Partick if you want to extend the default theme to add color please do. We can create a repo
PharoThemes and we are done.
I would really like to remove the standard squeak because it is terrible. I set it up since some updates and
I cannot work with it anymore.

Ok, I'll take a look at it.

I'll try to make a default theme with the same color scheme as standard squeak.

If that would work, that would be great: simple & effective.

Hello,

Just to say that I have now a simple theme extending UITheme with the look of Glamourous and the support of squeak windows colour management.

Since I worked in 1.2 I have yet to verify how this load in Pharo 1.3 and then I will publish it ;)

I plan to refactor/clean the theme package too.
So if you have results let us know.

Re: who is using softSqueak and standard Squeak

Patrick,

I think we should have a ConfigurationOfPharoThemes with all the themes you have made + current ones. I can help (may be a good subject for a our weekly coding-dojo)

PharoCore should have only one theme I think.

Laurent.

And in turn this means that pharo full has *all* of them? Nonono... it has already *far* too much stuff nobody cares about.

I'm not saying that Pharo should have all of them. We can have:

- ConfigurationOfPharoThemes project latestVersion load:#default => load the most used themes (ex: Glamour + Watery2) - for Pharo Full

- ConfigurationOfPharoThemes project latestVersion load:#softSqueak for the few (?) people who want to use softSqueak for example.

So ConfigurationOfPharoThemes will be an easy way to reference all working themes

Marcus, I totally agree with you, my target is to find a mean to have a default theme in Pharo core and other easy to load themes in Pharo full.

A theme in itself should be self contained and should only depend on UITheme/UIThemeIcons.
Thus a simple repository called PharoTheme could suffice for "officially" supported ones.

What is loaded by default in Pharo full is up to the Pharo team, IMHO there is currently to many themes by default.
