And some not-so-simple ergonomic adjustments ;-)
A piccy of my Squeak desktop along with one of our applications.

Nearly ready to release into the community as an add-on package (minus the
report builder),
though does modify (fix) quite a bit of morphic too.
Uses the FreetypePlus package (good work Andy!).
Supports a few different "themes", including one that looks more like
"standard" squeak.
Provides a nice UI for some standard (business application like) services,
choosing colours, selecting a font etc.
Also provides a framework for creating "standard" morphs (checkboxes,
drop-lists etc).
If there's any interest I'll speed up getting it ready for release.

Even better, we could use the free and unencumbered Liberation fonts:
