Whisker Browser
Last updated at 1:20 pm UTC on 25 August 2005
This is the Swiki page for the Whisker Browser, an alternative to the standard Smalltalk Browser. The official static home page for Whisker is still at http://www.mindspring.com/~dway/smalltalk/whisker.html, where there are screenshots, downloads, and a tutorial. But I thought it would be handy to have a Swiki page for folks to add comments. - Doug Way

Some description from the home page:

The goal of the Whisker Browser (a.k.a. Stacking Browser) is to provide a simple and intuitive way to view the contents of multiple classes and multiple methods simultaneously, while using screen real estate efficiently and not requiring a lot of window moving/resizing. It does this by introducing the concept of subpane stacking. ...

The Refactoring Browser (RB), which is renowned for its automated code refactoring capabilities. (Whereas Whisker is significant from purely a UI perspective.) The two browsers could be integrated together at some point, with Whisker as the UI, using the refactoring capabilities of the RB engine.
