Thank you Sergio I will be building a ton of new custom GUIs for Pharo for
my Ephestos project which ChronosManager is part of , so this is only the
beginning of testing the limitations of Morphic ;) Will keep you posted
about my progress.

Re: [Pharo-users] GUI Applications

2016-06-08 Thread Dimitris Chloupis
Morphic is so far for me my favorite option

Morphic has a lot of ugly code inside it but its by far the most powerful
of all, and its not hard at all to implement your own cleaners
implementations since the functionality is already there
its also well tested
based on a brilliant design
lacks documentation but it comes with a ton of examples since its what
Pharo and Squeak uses
and with its decade old history is by far the most mature.

Its also the best solution for custom designed GUIs which is what I used
for my ChronosManager project you can find in Catalog Browser.

For general UI, use Spec.
For browser** based UI, check Glamour.

**Meaning like Pharo System Browser, not a web browser.
Not sure if there another term that could avoid any confusion?

Hi Sergio,

the standard way to build UIs in Pharo is by using Spec. There is a video of me 
presenting it at the Pharo Days 2015 that gives you a first overview 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL23s9ZUIR0&feature=youtu.be&list=PL4actYd6bfnz98ngrKALwwStl3C3odEKG

There is also written documentation that is being updated now, so not really 
ready yet. One option is a paper of ours which is a bit out of date but still 
useful: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-00759030/document

I am using Seaside and the UI is web based.
Even if Pharo runs locally.

Maybe Bloc and a VM running on ARM/Android will change this but as most
users are using mobile devices, well, that's the best I can target for now.
