[Cuis-dev] WindowManager package

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Cool, thanks Mariano. I’ve been playing with it, and I have some comments
and questions. In my opinion it could be simpler, perhaps only the class
SystemWindowDecoration (but I would call it just SystemWindow or
DecoratedSystemWindow), and maybe a simpler superclass that we can subclass
to create our favorite look and feel for windows. And the hierarchy of
application morphs, that I would just call “windows” to keep the current
class names (they are all called *Window).. perhaps ApplicationMorph could
be called ApplicationWindow? Also, why not make it subclass of
PluggableMorph as other morphs with model? And do we really need this
class, or we could just make them subclass of PluggableMorph?

Also, the WindowManager class seems unnecessary to me, I think all that it
does could be implemented on the class side of the decorated windows
(open:, open:label:), or on the instance side of the application windows
(open, openWithLabel:), and the class of system window to use can be set in
a class variable.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Luciano
