How do I open the color picker's halo? I'm using Squeak on Windows with a three-button mouse.  When I get the color picker open and try to get its halo ( click left and right button together ) , the color picker closes .

Why bother? A pure yellow hurts your eyes even more than evil-green.

But if you *really* want *pure* yellow, why don't you just say so?

	Preferences insertionPointColor: Color yellow

You didn't know that existed? It's just a click away: click the debug halo
handle on the color picker, choose inspect, look for "target" and
"selector". How would you go about finding *that* out in Windows?

Ever tried to change the cursor color in Win 3.1?  *evil grin*
