My opinion is not that themes are not important, but that it looks out of context in this chapter. This chapter has an overview stating what we will describe in this chapter, then having this intermediate step about changing the theme, open CatalogBrowser, loading Nireas and talking about that it has a theme editor ..., which looks totally unrelated to the other content that is about the core tools (browser, debugger, finder ...) > > On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 10:54 AM Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> 2016-11-07 9:52 GMT+01:00 Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@gmail.com>: >> >> >> >> 2016-10-27 13:32 GMT+02:00 Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.al...@gmail.com>: >> >> In case someone missed it I will be doing a release for version 5 (pharo >> version = pbe version) this weekend , since we had Pharo 7 initiated few >> days ago. >> >> Essentially that means that the repo will be tagged for version 5, which >> means a git commit is associated as a last commit for that version and >> there will be a frozen release - download for Pharo by Example version 5. >> After that we move to Pharo By Example version 6 or PBE6 for short >> >> The repo wont change otherwise and the process of submitting commits, >> pull requests and issues remains the same. >> >> If you have found a flaw of any sort in the documentation , please open >> an issue in the github issue tracker that can be found here >> >> https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample/issues >> >> I will try to fix any problem reported but if I cannot , the fix will >> have to move to version 6 >> >> As always thanks to all people contributing into the impossible .... >> making Pharo more amazing >> >> If you want to contribute feel free to do so with a pull request. >> >> Does not matter if you are beginner because even minor corrections like >> correcting mistakes in the grammar or content of the text, updated >> pictures, or just a few lines of extra info are more than enough and more >> than welcomed.
