Also, DarkTheme is not ready. yeah, yeah… it works and works fine most of the time… but not *all* the time (take for example find string dialog… I never found the time to fix it, and nobody complained so… :P). Finally. we need to adopt SVG icons (in my TODO list since a couple of months, I will deliver soon, I hope), otherwise they do not look good (this is a problem eclipse itself had it… we are just inheriting it :) ) But a good question would be: How can we push forward our UI, besides using a darker or clearer theme? I would like to hear some opinions here :) I'd like to have some solution for that "windows popping up everywhere" thing. AltBrowser has some good ideas. In fact I'd like to have AltBrowser and Nautilus together (as in additional entries in the "Browse", "Browse Scoped", ..."Alt Browse", "Alt Browse Scoped") Also, having a way to see a class with all the methods in a long pane. Yeah, Smalltalk is all about short methods but it is hard to explain things to people when looking at a ravioli at a time.
Like the Newspeak browser?
Navigating hierarchies should be made easier (switching on the "hier/flat" button gets tiring).
This one is difficult to solve.
I need to see how spotter will make this easier anyway. Still not using it, need to bring all my code to 4.0 before.
I'm a bit: Spotter is an external tool to the browser. If my searches are well answered in the browser, I'll prefer to avoid switching back and forth between two GUIs.
It would be nice to have a closer integration between Browser and Spotter. When looking at methods, Spotter and AltBrowser show a very similar GUI: context tree on the left (i.e. where is the element in the overall scheme), element/work pane on the right. Like all the tree-based browsers have done in the past, really (the Star browser, the Whisker browser).
Which makes Spotter a kind of reimplementation of a tree browser with object-driven representations on the right... was that a project by Alain Plantec in the Squeak days?
