Great link!  I have never been a fan of the colored windows, with one glowing 
exception: clay rose (very subtle tint) really works for the debugger.

Dan also mentioned graph paper.  Ledger green is a nice background color for 
reading text.   What I want to see is a clean way to set text editor background 
colors for the various tools.  I have found mentions of a Shout style for same, 
but I have never found it.

As a further argument in favor of backgrounds, if we were to adopt wx or some 
other native framework for our tools, the non-client areas would be drawn for 
us and therefore unchangeable.  Tools would need to distinguish themselves by 
icon, background colors, and finally overall appearance.

Hi,
i use them and like them a lot.
I also asked on the Squeak-List about the origins of colored windows and got
an interesting response:
