[UI] We haven't discussed Host windows yet

[Bill Schwab]

Gary,

I would describe what you are doing as more than a stop-gap.  You are well along to providing a working emulated widget framework.  IMHO, assuming it holds up under various kinds of users, it would be largely superior to a native widget framework.

Ideally, Squeak should embrace native widgets too, but with some additional pounding and an extra theme or two, you will have an immediately portable yet robust user interface that can meet the needs of various masters.

Oh, and the user/password for the wiki is...?

Just trying my best to please with something that we use and though other
might like. I don't mind too much criticism as long as constructive and
justified.

Looks like a lot of people are having trouble loading things, when I get
access I'll put a fail-safe guide on the Wiki.

As for the UI in general, I think we need to look at the wider picture. My
stuff is really a stop-gap to allow us to provide Squeak applications to our
users at this time.

Oppss... I meant to say: it IS a direction from Gary, but he didn't write up

the wiki page.

Additionally: the wiki page is for everyone! If you've got ideas, please
edit 
and tell us it's updated!
