</div>Oh! Did I? OK. I'd rather stay away from the kid stuff, and do things the bigboy way.<br>

</div>Thanks ... but alas, I couldn't successfully load it into my image :( Then some "other things happened", and now Squeak is acting all peculiar.<br>
<br>
Is it rare for people to create morphs anyway, or is it something that people like doing all the time?<br>
<br>
One thing that's puzzling me somewhat is that if I take something like a RectangleMorph, it has both a class definition, and a widget that I can drag onto my desktop. If I create my own morph graphically, then it has no class definition associated with it. I'm confused: if I set out to define a class, then how comes I don't have to specify the sub-components programmatically, and conversely, if I create my own morph visually, then how does it get a class?<br>
<br>
I have looked around for tutorials on creating morphs, but I don't seem to find any simple examples where it says "look, this is the proper way you design UI elements".<br>
