Who really knows SystemWindow code well? It would be good if I and/or Ben 
Schroeder could pair up with someone who knows it because there are just 
enough nuances that it would be best for us to review to fix small glitches 
in our Look Enhancments (i.e. small text boxes with scrollbars, border 
widths are not exactly precise, etc...).

We also did not "care" about maintaining the "alternate window look" in 
preferences. If you toggle that option off then all goes bad on style 
(windows are black). Lastly, SMLoader window lost it's paneColor in 3.8 and 
beyond. Not sure why, but I keep having to add paneColor override to get the 
pale yellow Squeak Map loader back otherwise it is transparent. This only 
happens when using our Look Enhancements, but it clearly used to have this 
override in 3.7.

So, yes, some polish would be needed to make this the defacto style. I'm for 
it, and advice on SystemWindow would be appreciated.

John
