[Cuis-dev] First steps in Cuis

[stephen at heaveneverywhere.com]

Hello all,

I spent part of today actually working in Cuis and I’m quite impressed!

I started by making 2 small “system fixes,” the first being to change the system browser to what we used (in the PARC days) to call the “6-paned browser” or “package browser.” This simply means splitting the class categories into a 2-level list based in the first ‘-‘ so you get a list like (Kernel, Collections, Compiler, Graphics) as shown in the screen shot below.  Note that I also put it in the world menu; one could also have a preference setting to use it instead of the normal Cuis browser all the time.



Next I put the scroll bars back where they belong - on the left (since we read from the left, most of us).  As you can see, there are still some nits in this.



Lastly, I reorganized the system’s class categories so that the top-level list is a bit more manageable, as in this screen,



I’m not sure what the Aconcagua and Chalten categories mean, and whether LiveTyping and TDD need to be their own top-level meta-packages.

Comments?

I’ll make these into packages real soon…

stp
