Themes question
by ppadilcdx＠gmail.com 10 Dec '22

10 Dec '22

I made some modifications of the themes as discussed on another thread. Since the changes are in the class the running instance didn't seem to see the changes until I ran the class creation/initialization method. Unfortunately that reset all my font sizes selections. Is there a better way to reinitialize a theme after changes without trashing the preferences? Apologies if this should be obvious - newbie to Squeak/Smalltalk. Regards Pete

Browser button decoration colors
by P Padilcdx 09 Dec '22

09 Dec '22

I changed the system browser inheritance button decoration colors as the button label is yellow and with the colors I couldn’t read the button label, which was annoying (my OCD showing). Not sure if this is of any use to others but here is the code (also not sure how to share this…apologies…I’m a newbie to smalltalk). CodeHolder >> inheritanceButtonColor "Check to see if the currently-viewed method has a super send or an override, and if so, change screen feedback, unless the #decorateBrowserButtons says not to." | flags aColor cm defaultButtonColor | defaultButtonColor := (UserInterfaceTheme current get: #color for: #PluggableButtonMorph) ifNil: [Color gray: 0.91]. cm := currentCompiledMethod. ((cm isKindOf: CompiledMethod) and: [Preferences decorateBrowserButtons]) ifFalse: [^ defaultButtonColor]. "This table duplicates the old logic, but adds two new colors for the cases where there is a superclass definition, but this method doesn't call it." flags := 0. self isThisAnOverride ifTrue: [ flags := flags bitOr: 4 ]. cm sendsToSuper ifTrue: [ flags := flags bitOr: 2 ]. self isThereAnOverride ifTrue: [ flags := flags bitOr: 1 ]. aColor := { defaultButtonColor. Color tan muchDarker. Color green muchDarker. Color blue muchDarker. Color red muchDarker. "has super but doesn't call it" (Color r: 0.74 g: 0.523 b: 0.573). "has sub; has super but doesn't call it" Color green muchDarker. Color blue muchDarker. } at: flags + 1. ^aColor

Yes I did - several times but got timeout errors. The sending button goes green displaying “sending ..." but then I get a timeout error. Is there a way to reset the smtp info? Maybe I had a typo on the smtp server address. Thanks!

[Newbie] System Browser method icon & Inbox Talk app
by P Padilcdx 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Is there a guide as to what the icons next to the methods mean. I can guess most of them, e.g. the arrows are obvious enough. But others are not so trivial. Right now I have some methods showing a red flag - I presume there is some sort of issue but there is no help text that I could find. Thank you and apologies if this has been asked before. Also, how do I set the required login credentials to be able to send email through the Squeak Inbox Talk app within Squeak. All my accounts require login to send email via smtp protocol. The app did prompt for server/port/email address but without smtp login credentials it won’t be able to send the email. Thanks! Regards Pete

Hi Christoph I am using the 6.0 release. I was using a recursive algorithm. I did use the menu to close all the debuggers but more kept coming. I might have given up too early and force-quit Squeak. Just wondered if there was another magic trick. Thank you for the prompt reply! PS. Code was not saved due to the force-quit. But it was writing to the Transcript and from what I could deduce, that was the reason for the unlimited debugger windows with a “didNotUnderstand” at the top of the frames. Hope that makes sense. Regards Pete

Newbie question

Is there a way to stop the endless debugger windows when a process goes astray? I had code in a workspace which I tried to stop with CMD-. (Mac) which seemed to work most of the time but the last time it just created an unlimited number of debugger windows. I close them just to see more reappear. Besides writing better code :-) is there a way to stop the program and the endless debugger windows? Thank and apologies if this is something covered already. Regards Pete

Hello, is there a way to search for previous message topics? I hate to ask a question that's already been asked or answered before.

Where to ask ComSwiki
by Williams, Bret M. 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hi, How would I go about getting some Squeak experts to migrate ComSwiki into the current version of Squeak? The corporation I work for has identified ComSwiki as a security risk due to its embedded SSL. We have tried to install and run it on the latest Linux version of Squeak, but it will not run. Any and all help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. We have been running Swiki for over 20 years without any problems. Thanks, Bret Williams

Multi user Squeak image via Croquet
by Jiri R. 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hi, The is croquet.io <http://croquet.io/> which allows "multiple users to work or play together within a single shared distributed environment". I wonder whether it is possible to take a squeak image and make it that single shared distributed environment. So multiple users would have some sort of UI (with system browser, workspaces, ..) and be able to work on a single underlining model (the squeak image). Jiri

Ideally I would have liked a single image but multiple IO devices but realistically Nebraska sounds like my best bet. I will give it a try when my game is ready. Thanks a lot for this information.
