<div>So that explains why the color is a shade of pink. It sends
the message `#color:` to the instance AFTER sending the
message `#newRow`.</div>
<div>The `newRow` method calls `initialize` which I override to
also send the message `#color` with my preferred color.</div>
<div>So my color gets replaced by pink due to the order of the
calls.</div>

<br>
Yes. Not helpful, and annoying. Just pushed an update to remove
that.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">
<div>Now I need to find a place other than `initialize` to set
the color AFTER `new` is called.</div>
<div>I suppose one option is to override the `drawOn:` method
like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font face="monospace">drawOn: aCanvas<br>
self color: Color green.<br>
super drawOn: aCanvas.</font><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is that what you recommend?</div>

<br>
No, just use the update I just pushed.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
