[Newbies] Developer theme/image?

[Dirk Vleugels]

Hello,

im using squeak3.8-6665full (standard download) on a G4 powerbook to
play around with seaside. Everything works (as expected), but i don't
like the interface for development:

Two questions:

Is there a theme (or image) available which removes 90% of the eye
candy and adds some nice monospace fonts for all text-fields (Browser,
Workspace, Transcript, etc.)? I played around with preferences &
appearance from the world menu, but wasn't able to produce a usable
UI.

Squeak feels slow:

I don't mean the vm execution speed for bytecode (seaside apps are
fast enough), but the visual and/or tactile (i lack a better word
here) feedback of the UI just feels slow. Even when typing the output
sometimes lags behind ! It seems to get worse when adding things like
Shout or eCompletion (which i would like to use). Drag & drop of
window outlines is also slow.

Maybe it's possible to tweak the scheduler? Remove morphic, use MVC
world only? Im currently only interested in seaside development....

Emacs (well Aquamacs now) user here, so maybe im just spoiled .-)

Regards,
Dirk
