UITheme - Theme specific look/feel and main "services" (dialogs for choosing
fonts, colours etc.)
TEasilyThemed - Trait facade with lighter-weight helpers for services and UI
component creation.
UIManager - Was, in Squeak, a facade for basic services (request text etc.).
Now incorporates TEasilyThemed
UITheme builder - an entry point for using TEasilyThemed if not
desired/appropriate to incorporate the trait into the sender
Since UIManager now incorporates TEasilyThemed, UITheme builder might as
well reference UIManager default...

I have to digest that because for now the infrastructure and relationship
between
UITheme
UIManager
UITheme builder is not clear to me. For example I do not understand why the
builder is just a composableMorph and not a builder.
especially since Pluggable and friend invoke theme anyway.
At the end we should have something much clearer.
For me the responsibilities are not clear.

Some theme methods require the context of creation (aThemedMorph as
passed) for adapting to
corner style, colours etc.
Perhaps, in TEasilyThemed, this context can be broken out into another
method that
MorphicUIManager could redefine as appropriate (guessing self world)...

Because TEasilyThemed is designed to be applied to Morph subclasses...
So when self (aMorphicUIManager) is passed to the theme it does not
understand all Morph protocol.
Yes I saw but I still wonder why this is needed to "copy" all these
protocols.

why
(UIManager default
newPluggableDialogWindow: 'Pharo is cool') openInWorld
does not work?
Apparently MorphicUIManager is missing something?
