<div>You will probably find searching the archives for that
type of information to be difficult. We've had several
iterations of the list[1] and what gets discussed on the
list is often more tactical/specialized than that. I'd
suggest starting with the resources at <a

href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Learning-Cuis</a>
for more tutorial-oriented content.</div>

Follow Phil's advice. Afterward, be sure to at least briefly skim
over the documentation/ folder.<br>

Here, the good part starts. The central idea of Smalltalk is to make
the system itself open and easy to study. So, the best you can do is
_not_ to search mail list archive, or even documentation or books.
Start discovering the system itself! First, be sure to use a three
button mouse. Alternatively, control-click emulates right click and
command/alt-click emulates middle click.<br>
<br>
For example. open any window. Do middle click on it. This will open
the Morphic Halo. Click on the center-right handle (orange, with a
wrench icon). On the menu that opens select 'explore morph'. What
you get now is an ObjectExplorer on the window. (Play with it! Learn
about it!) Right click on the tree root (the window object). Select
'browse hierarchy (h)'. Now you also have a code browser in the
object's class.<br>
<br>
You know that all windows have these four circular buttons at the
topLeft. So go up in the class hierarchy and select SystemWindow.
Look at the 'initialization' method category. All those methods are
rather simple and intuitive (I hope!). Start playing with them. See
senders and implementors of stuff.<br>
<br>
This is much better than reading some "Class Library Reference" or
such. Good luck!<br>

<div>Regarding the 'position of window controls', do you mean
the four circular icons in the upper left corner of
windows? If so, those are hard-coded in
SystemWindow>>initializeLabelArea.</div>
