Hi,
I've backported a short example of WindowFrameMorph from the SqueakWorld Tour image.
Install the attached mcz and run "FrameWindow open". You can resize the window on any side. It also adds the correct cursors to Squeak. Maybe the code is somehow usefull for the LookEnhancements package.
I would like to thank John Pierce for his efforts in improving the Squeak UI.
But I would not vote for a general inclusion of this particular package into the base image since it just supports a single theme which may not be accepted by anyone. Others may like to have the Aqua or Skylark look from Pavel, ....
There are also more flexible frameworks like Zurgle from Jim Benson or Steve Wessels Skins package (http://squeak.preeminent.org/) allowing you to have different themes...
On the other side LookEnhancement is better than the current UI and I doubt that it will be possible to create a clean and flexible UI framework with theme support, professional widgets and a UI builder in the next months...
Bye Torsten

Thanks, I'll take a look and see. Presently you can set the "resizeOnAllSides" preference and the standard Squeak feature is re-enabled on SystemWindows so I'm not sure how your changeset is different from that, but that's why I'll take a look and see at what you sent.

Your welcome!

Actually, my Look Enhancements are accepted by at least me and two others that I know of. I do not know how many folks use the other themes or looks. I'm sure compatibility with other themes could be had, but presently that is not on my short list of things to do. Of course, others are always welcome to assist though... ;-)

My schedule is not as flexible as these frameworks to do such wonderful things...
