windowsesque theme

I've attached a rough draft of a windowsesque UITheme called UIThemeXP,
I was hoping it could be added to the themes in the main distribution.
It may need to be renamed, and certainly put into the proper package.

After you filein, evaluate....

UIThemeXP setup.

then to see some examples of it, evaluate

UITheme exampleBasicControls

The "UIThemeXP<<setup" function assumes you are on a windows machine as it requires Tahoma font be installed.
Otherwise you can just set it as the preferred look and feel, and it will use the standard Accuny font.

It would be nice if the FreeType fonts could be somehow persisted inside methods like images so they would be available on other platforms.

Just needs a few tweaks for titloebar handling with larger fonts and some
pane colour stuff.
Looks good. Maybe a rename to UITheme95?

Re: windowsesque theme

I think it might be closer to windows 2000. Any name would be great though, as without a Theme like this I would never be able to use Pharo at my job.

gary let me know when you integrate the theme and I will integrate to

May be in the future we will get theme packages :)

Re: windowsesque theme

Besides fine tuning some of the things with this theme, I would like to create an Ubuntu theme as that is the platform I prefer to use. I think it's an up and coming juggernaut.

There are lots of controls that would be nice to have available in Pharo.
In Java land there is a gui toolkit that might be something to look at for direction. Jide is gaining momentum, and was chosen over eclipse at my job. Certainly building widgets found in this product would provide alot of nice capabilities for Pharo's own tools.

http://www.jidesoft.com/

Another thing that would be beyond my capabilities to work on, but I think is becoming necessary for software developers might be to have a heavyweight browser control. Something like the 3d rendering surface I've seen with croquet. There would be fantastic things you could do with this.

These are just ideas.
