Hello,
im using squeak3.8-6665full (standard download) on a G4 powerbook to play around with seaside. Everything works (as expected), but i don't like the interface for development:
Two questions:
Is there a theme (or image) available which removes 90% of the eye candy and adds some nice monospace fonts for all text-fields (Browser, Workspace, Transcript, etc.)? I played around with preferences & appearance from the world menu, but wasn't able to produce a usable UI.
Squeak feels slow:
I don't mean the vm execution speed for bytecode (seaside apps are fast enough), but the visual and/or tactile (i lack a better word here) feedback of the UI just feels slow. Even when typing the output sometimes lags behind ! It seems to get worse when adding things like Shout or eCompletion (which i would like to use). Drag & drop of window outlines is also slow.
Maybe it's possible to tweak the scheduler? Remove morphic, use MVC world only? Im currently only interested in seaside development....
Emacs (well Aquamacs now) user here, so maybe im just spoiled .-)
Regards, Dirk
use squeak3.9 (gamma version coming soon ;)) but the latest version is really good :)

It's a lot faster for sure. Thanx for the hint....

Ok.

Do you mean Emacs key bindings from SqueakMap? Do they work for you (on macosx)? Ctrl-a is still mark-whole-buffer afterwards, not beginning-of-line ....
Cheers, Dirk ps: is there a way to define _one_ font for all Editors, Browsers, Debuggers, etc.? 'Lucida sans Typewriter' would be awesome ....

I heard about a package with vi keybindings that is easy to configure for emacs key bindings too. Can't find it however
Name: SVI Summary: Text editor w/ extensive support for VIM and Emacs
is on SqueakMap...

Yes, but is not installable on 3.9+.
