This is a great change!

I think these kinds of 'cosmetic changes' are really important
for attracting new users. In many cases, unfortunately, 
It doesn't matter how great and
powerful a programming environment is if it doesnt look 
good. I have filed both changes in permanently!

Although I love Squeak, I must admit I too found it's
interface 'quirky' initially.
