Here's a few small things will make squeak feel much nicer to a windows user.
uncheck Preferences > scrolling > scroolBarsNarrow, gives you fatter windows style scroll bars.
check Preferences > general > duplicateControlAndAltKeys, fixes your cut, copy, paste keys.
Load package from squeakMap Win32 native Fonts, huge improvement.
Load package named LookEnhancements from http://squeak.saltypickle.com/, it'll make the windows look and feel better.
World menu, appearance, window colors, just click white, get's rid of all the goofy colors and makes everything look more like windows, grey windows with white backgrounds.

Hi,
I once saw a screenshot of Squeak that looked exactly like Windows. Since I'm using Squeak on Windows and switching all the
time between
it and Dolphin, the diffrences in the GUI get in my way all
the time.
How can I make it look and behave at least similar to Windows?
Well, poke around with the preferences. The first thing I always do is make sure that the right mouse button shows context menus, and the middle mouse button shows the Morph halos.
There was once a project called "Zurgle" which looked much like Windows XP. I suspect you'll need an old 3.4 image to run it though.
Otherwise, if you're a Smalltalker then maybe you could contribute code that makes Squeak look like Windows :-).
