This person does not contribute anymore and I never really used it so I do not know how useful it is. I will add an issue to take a look and either improve it or deprecate it to not make people lose time. https://github.com/DuneSt/MaterialDesignLite/issues/292 As Julien told you, I usually start a standard MDL application with the generator I wrote to get the basic infrastructure. I hope it helps you getting started smoothly. > Sven -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

Re: [Pharo-dev] MDLApplication
Hello Sven, Did you try https://github.com/jecisc/MDBaseGenerator ? It generates a nice template for starting a new MDL webapp. I do not know about MDLApplication.

[Pharo-dev] MDLApplication
Hi, I am trying to use MaterialDesignLite (master branch in Pharo 7). The demo works perfectly. Now, I thought I would start writing a small web app by subclassing MDLApplication, since that seems to set up things properly. Is that class finished ? How am I supposed to use it ? There are screens, but how are these rendered ? Do I have to do this myself ? Must there not be an idea of a current screen ? MDLScreen is in fact an empty class. Although there are units tests for MDLApplication, there is no subclass, so no actual user. It feels a bit as if the demo should/could use it. Sven
