Putting aside any new GUIs for the moment, I would thing that your original
proposals are a good idea.
The caveat must be that the new colour schems/codes etc MUST not interfere
with existing PE programs.

Progress is mixed. Screenprinted conductive paints do not have the
durability we require. Those have been ruled out.
The conductive rubber pads have a tendency to crack the plastic they're
stuck to, probably because they're a bit too rigid and apply pressure at
their edges.

It's not so much asm vs. C but vector fonts vs. simple fixed fonts.
One of my wishes for a long time is printing on screen with fixed size
proportional fonts at OS level. If possible by reusing the Text87 fonts
because there are a lot around. That would be fast, and still
interesting
