Managing multiple windows within a Pharo image can become a tedious process.
71+
Window Groups are windows that offer tab support similar to the one you are used
72+
to on your web browser. To create a window group, click on the down arrow which
73+
appears on the top right corner of every window within Pharo, and select
74+
==Create window group==. This will turn that window into a window group with a
75+
tab bar, containing as its first tab the original contents of the window. You
76+
can add other windows to the group (within the Pharo image only, of course), by
77+
dragging and dropping their title bars onto the tab bar, next to existing tabs.
78+
Each new window that you drag onto the tab bar will be added as a new tab.

!!!Themes and Icon Sets
83+
84+
If, like some of us, you are not a fan of the default bright theme, there is
85+
also a dark theme that can be used with Pharo. It can be found in the Settings
86+
browser in the World Menu (==World > System > Settings==), in the ==Appearance==
87+
section. The ==User interface theme== pulldown allows you to switch between the
88+
default ==Pharo3== theme and the ==Pharo3 Dark== theme. You can also experiment
89+
with available icon sets in the next pulldown in that section.
90+
91+
Please note that you may have to close and reopen existing windows to redraw
92+
them correctly with the new dark theme.
93+
94+
If you are using Pharo 5 and above, you can use the ==Catalog Browser== to
95+
install additional themes. Open ==World > Tools > Catalog Browser== and search
96+
for ==theme== in the search box. For example, if you want something more
97+
colorful, you can download the Nireas theme, which is a blue theme inspired by
98+
classic home computers like Amiga 500 and Amstrad CPC 6128. Nireas comes with a
99+
GUI tool that allows you to customize the theme's colors to your liking, if blue
100+
is not your thing.
101+
102+
Of course, if you are feeling especially adventurous, you can even make your own
103+
themes using existing ones as templates.

When you get to a green bar, it's a good idea to save your work by saving the
