The Zurgle project is a campaign to help clean up some of the sharper edges on the current Squeak desktop by adding things like emulated widgets and window skins.
After installation, the 'Luna' and 'Borg' directories are no longer needed and may be removed. Make sure to save your image first :-)
FAQ
It don't work man!!
This is probably due to one of several factors;
Zurgle didn't install correctly; some hunt and peck needed
There isn't enough memory allocated to run Squeak with the Zurgle extensions
Make sure that you allocate some extra memory for Squeak to run in when running the Zurgle extensions. Linux is pretty stingy in this regard. I usually use at least 30 megabytes for Linux:
squeak -memory 30m zurgle.image
Zurgle Screenshots
Here are some Zurgle screenshots; This includes a shot of the demo that I gave at Squeakend Atlanta 5/12/2K2
Loaded Zurgle from SM into Squeak 3.4 gamma one after loading Star Browser – Star Browser won't open now... (doesNotUnderstand: paneColor in SubWindow >> paneColor – The SubWindow doesn't have an owner) - jon 2/23/2003
It's not possible to delete old style SystemWindows after Zurgle has been installed. -hh 3-15-2003
See Sar Notes below; some type of postscript code should clean this up
Corners of window frames are drawn outside of the window's bounds when the window size becomes small. Occurs in both Luna and Borg themes, although it is much more noticable in the latter due to the thicker borders. -jcg 6/11/2002
Popout scrollbars on the left (classic squeak scrollbar configuration) does not let the user access the scrollbar itself. - sbw 5/16/2002
It's all confused; I need to look at this more closely -jlb 5/23/2K2
The Squeak preference panel colors are off; this has to do with the changes of window color specs for windows -jlb 5/14/2002

Recently Reported Bugs that have been squashed
Ran MPEGPlayer. Tried to move the slider control but in the SimpleSliderMorph>>mouseDownInSlider, the sliderShadow object does not understand the "image:" message. -ldt 6/12/2002
I got an error when putting only a single window in the dock. The dock had no submorphs, but the method called "submorphs last bounds topRight". I changed it to "bounds topLeft" and it worked -Je77 5/21/2002
There's supposed to be an invisible spacer at the front of the Dock that somehow got wasted ; I'll place an fix in the next update stream -jlb 5/23/2K2
Fixed ; placed into Zurgle 1.0b -jlb 6/8/2K2 -
Collapsing windows creates an ugly artefact when you turn on 'Collapse Windows in Place' and choose 'To a title bar' in the Window Collapse settings. -mhj 5/22/2002
Fixed ; placed into Zurgle 1.0b -jlb 6/8/2K2
PDA window is all green (stuff appears to be still there, but covered over) -rca 5/14/2002
Note that SystemWindows pay attention to the color settings from the Squeak preference panel. For the PDAMorph to appear with color instead of a white background, you must enable window coloring in the preference panel.
Install script in the themes should match the file names exactly for any OS that is case sensitive -jlb 5/14/2002
create a flap, make it a parts bin, put a zurgle browser window on it and the get a copy from the window by dragging it from the flap onto the morphic word - the list in the browser is not clickable anymore 2/21/2002
This appears to be a bug in the stock image. Does this work for you in a stock 3.2 image? -jlb 2/21/2002
Sar Notes
The SqueakMap window is an old SystemWindow, which cannot be directly closed using the 'close box' after loading Zurgle. This is because Zurgle changes the frame layouts of all SystemWindows after loading. To delete an old style SystemWindow, bring up the halos on the window and click the red delete halo.
After loading Zurgle from SM into Squeak 3.4 after loading Star Browser – Star Browser won't open now... (doesNotUnderstand: paneColor in SubWindow >> paneColor – The SubWindow doesn't have an owner)
