Nice wall of (mono|proportional) text guys... Just ship a couple of preferences files and be done with this, no?
As we are talking about usability, let me tell you that having a proper dark theme (and not the Moose Retina Burner (tm) one - whiter than white, kill the remaining cells style) would do marvels. I got eye surgery in both eyes and enough white, it hurts and shows shadows with floaters, which, no matter how proportional or fixed font, makes the chars unreadable as they are behind the shadow. Here are some useful pointers to what they do at JetBrains: http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/06/11/inside-darcula-look-and-feel-an-interview-with-konstantin-bulenkov/ Theming Pharo dark is a major undertaking (as colors are all over in the most erratic possible way - for fun, turn the background of controls to nuclear green and see where that shows). And trying to lake one proved to be non useful on 2.0 as 3.0 has everything changed already (as Ben showed me at one point). But if one manages to do that, it would mean that the themes are somewhat more under control. So, WTF about fonts, what matters to me is dark stuff. (some more fuel to the fire, sorry couldn't resist). Phil
