Gary, I think the correct answer is to have "meta theme" that does the expected thing on each platform. If that is the selected theme, then it notes the platform and tries to adapt, but it still allows a user to choose a specific theme for performance, personal preference, etc.

Janko seems to have run into the unfortunate, apparently temporary, sluggishness before image save. I have noticed, however, that the input event fetcher does take up quite a bit of relative cpu, if you believe the process browser (open process broser and start CPU watcher/auto-update). Perhaps we need a "first start on new platform" kind of thing to select the default theme. Would be annoying to revert the user's chosen theme each startup... Just a few thoughts.

I suppose there could be a platform-dependent theme option that would make a reasonabl choice, but one should be able to override to use any theme anywhere. One possible solution would be to add some sample scripts (could be as simple as do-its in a workspace) that customize a few things. <whackDeadHorse>We should probably be more concerned about how long it takes to open a browser than we are about which of the various wonderful themes is selected by default.</whackDeadHorse> Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Damien Cassou Sent: Friday, June 26, 2009 2:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Experiences with 10342 2009/6/25 Mariano Martinez Peck <[email protected]>: >> Is there a preference that would need to be made platform dependent? >> I don't quite understand (probably since I am on Mac). > > It would be nice :) As the swapMouseButtons! > In Mac, you have the controls to minimize, maximize and close a > windows on the top left of the windows.
