Hi all
I was at Lugano and I did yet another squeak demo to young
programmers, they were impressed
but after they show me what they were doing in Java and ....I was
impressed by the quality of the look
of their applications and I thought that if we do not do anything
about look we should not say that we want to have more squeakers but
keep playing between us. So does anybody wants that Squeak can talk
with young programmer of 2000?
I would really like that Squeak out of the box look improves.
Here is what I suggest, we have different possibilities
- (1) either load a skin package and use a nice skin
- (2) load the LookEnhancement available at
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://squeak.saltypickle.com/LookEnhancements'
user: ''
password: ''
This package is doing a lot of overrides so we cannot load it
simply in 3.9
and it would be better to have it inside the image.
- (3) speed the changes of diego
- (4) Do a competition of the better look for squeak
-- here the criteria should be that the system should be cool
-- responsive
-- as less intrusive as possible
