If you haven't already, be sure to look through the Morphic page on the
swiki for more tutorials, etc:

Of course it's a mixed bag and some of it is old, but there is a lot of
stuff there.

See the GUI Building Tools page on the swiki:

Again, this is a mixed bag of several UI toolkits, some old, and only a
few of them were ever actually used/developed by more than one person.
wxSqueak has the most development activity recently, but BobsUI was an
everything-in-Squeak UI toolkit used by several people including
myself. But it needs a committed maintainer to bring it forward from
Squeak 3.4. Or, you might look at one of the other ones to see if it's
something you can build from.
