I honestly don't know much about its internals, I just use it. As for the fonts, I don't know that either, I use the ones already installed and just use code to set my font preferences. I don't have the script handy, or I'd show it. Most of those questions are about the OmniBrowser, those questions are best asked on the squeak dev list as the OmniBrowser is under heavy development.

I'm rather new to squeak (been using visualworks for some time) and finding your image really made my day as i was trying to set up a base image for development work. I have a few questions, at this point mostly cosmetic issues related to the enhancements loaded in this image: 1) what's up with those "OBIconicButton"s, where do they get their label and its font from, and how do I change it? "IconicButton"s have a label, but if I set it it shows behind the icon together with the "automatic" one... 2) I'd like to change the way the browsers "disable" their buttons: currently "disabled" ones show normally and "enabled" show like they're pressed; I'd like to leave the enabled ones up and either use a different color or "depress" the disabled ones, but couldn't find where to put my hands despite browsing endless message sends and class hierarchies. I'm rather stuck, any idea? Also, am I right to guess that Morphic widgets don't have an equivalent of the "enabled" attribute, and are always enabled? If so, is it just missing or is it so by design? 3) I also loaded FreeType, and while it works great in itself the font selection menus really do not cope well with the resulting hundreds of items. Is there an easy way to choose which fonts are imported? Am i right to assume I'll be able to use the image on Linux if I bring the needed fonts along? As far as I understand, the plugin is also available for linux and osx. 0) Was this the right place to ask these questions? If not, where? Again thanks for the real good work. Thanx man, it’s way cool!

I did some work with 'Pascal'. You may laugh, but I still find pascal better than C/C++/Java etc. But smalltalk is a different story. I would like to develop and convert the work done in pascal into smalltalk. I have mostly worked in the field of data-analysis and its representation graphically. Your work and words could be inspiring and motivating in nature. Regards Nagin Chand Dear Ramon,

The latter is a pretty powerful application environment, but there's quite a bit that still frustrates me. So, I'm going back to my roots. I wanted to thank you, deeply, for providing your Squeak image. It's nice ... very nice. I've had Squeak on my desktop for years now, but every time I open it, I get distracted by all that kiddy stuff. Cool, for sure, but I want to do some serious development, not play, and your image provides the way. So ... THANKS!
