Wouldn't it be easier to simply enforce fixed limit of Inspector/Debug

would be simply ignored. Because as a victim I don't see much use of
having vastly more windows than even fit on the screen especially
since most of the erroneous windows are actually identical.
yes this is a nice idea.
If somebody is ready for the challenge, please try and we will integrate it.

It would be nice to have the toolbar have some kind of Win7

Is there a way to know when a system window was opened?
Who hasn't been a victim of the attack of the too many windows
popping up all over?

I am afraid I could not do that, it seems that when pharo has
opened too many windows the bottom bar takes all the space of
the pharo windows and because it has higher viewer priority
you cannot view any kind of window. All you see is that bars
that represent open windows filling your screen.
That is a problem.

So the solution for me was to reopen the image , fetch most
of my lost code from changes and fortunately only add a few
lines of code back that were permanently lost.
So a big thank you for changes , it saved me at least hours
of work and thank you for trying to help me.

As Peter said, you can execute any code in an inspector
window. Here is how you might solve this yourself :)
There is a menu option
World > Windows > Delete unchanged windows.
Of course, you can't use that directly since your
background is covered with windows. But you could open
up another image and then do this...
1. Bring up the halos on that menu option
2. Click the "Debug" spanner icon and choose 'Inspect Morph'
3. Scroll down to /target/ where you find "[ World
closeUnchangedWindows ]"
4. Evaluate that back in the problem image in any Inspector.
I describe this process since until a moment ago when I
did that, I didn't know about the existence of
"closeUnchangedWindows."

Maybe running something like this would work:

InspectorNavigator allInstancesDo: [ :each | each window

You can run arbitrary code from basically anywhere where
you can enter text (and Inspector has couple of boxes
where you can enter text).
Also doesn't holding escape close it too?

Is there a shortcut to close all inspector windows ?
and if not how I close the window of a selected
inspector ?
Basically I accidentally opened over 1000 inspector
windows and i want to close them all now because
they have occupied the entire GUI and I cant do
anything other than closing them on by one. I cant
open the world menu or open a new window because
they take not only the entire window but also they
are always on top.
The tragedy is that I had plenty of code that I
don't want to lose because I have not saved, please
help :(
Can't open a workspace to issue pharo commands or
any other window :(
