[FIX] fixScrollbarOnRight-sm
by Simon Michael 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

from preamble: "Change Set: fixScrollbarOnRight-sm Date: 30 November 2001 Author: Simon Michael Outboard scrollbars on the right have not been usable in browsers, because they appeared behind the neighboring pane to the right and disappeared when you moused over them. This change attempts to remedy that by bringing the current pane (and it's owner, for the class pane in browsers) to the front when showing a scroll bar."!

[newbie] how to install more fonts in your image
by Simon Michael 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

Here are a few things I found in digging around the swiki, the list and the image this evening: 1. a file-in which provides 12-point Cream, quite a pretty historical font. Swiki -> Fonts -> http://home.munich.netsurf.de/Helge.Horch/SqueakSharesSoar.html 2. a file-in by Andrew Greenberg which provides Computer Modern fonts. Swiki -> Fonts -> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/message/10426 3. TTFontReader installTTF: '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/somefont.ttf' asTextStyle: #FontName sizes: #(12 14 16 18 20 24) will install a truetype font from your hard-drive - you probably have a bunch of them somewhere. You pick the sizes. These will be monochrome only and are anti-aliased for a light background. Not too useful for code but good-looking. 4. follow the steps in BDFFontReader class method gettingAndInstallingTheFonts to install some standard X11 fonts from the net. (I read the Swiki -> BDF Fonts For Squeak page but didn't realize it could help until later) -Simon

thanks

Ned, thanks for the mouse-wheel-on-linux patch you posted back in september - this works well for me with (the version of Lex's source that I have here). (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/message/33355) I also want to say thank you to Dan and others for the recent work on speedups, flap ergonomics, etc - all much appreciated on my P266. Closing a projecthistorymorph and turning off round corners has also made quite a difference. I intend to bite the bullet and learn more about profiling in squeak if I can. Regards, -Simon

Finding Plugins: MPEG files not valid?
by Mark Guzdial 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

I'm eager to try the Movie-JPEG format, but I can't get any MPEGs converted to Movie-JPEG. The problem isn't the JPEG plugin -- I can't open any MPEGs! I know that I used to be able to, but in a completely-updated 3.2 image, running the 3.1.1 Mac VM (not OS X), every MPEG or MP3 file I try comes back as being invalid MPEG. These are files that I can successfully play in QT Movie Player and in iTunes. I've been wondering if I even have the MPEG plugin -- maybe the primitive is bombing because the module can't be found. I've tried downloading the MPEG plugin from www.squeak.org in the 3.0/mac/extra_files directory, but with the same result. Some questions: - Is there a more recent MPEG plugin somewhere? - Is the MPEG plugin built in to the Mac VM? How can I find out? I know that there's a way of getting an array of all the available plugins, but I can't find it anywhere in the image. - Are there specific MPEG versions that work or don't work? - Can anyone point me to valid MPEG files that Squeak can read that I can try this?
