Hi Chris,
I don't think I will be making the call on whether my (and Ben's) LookEnhancements will go into 3.9. There was some interest in that topic a month ago or so, but it seems to have died down. I pretty much don't care if it isn't included since I will just keep maintaining the enhancements and applying to future editions of squeak as an add-on. I would certainly welcome the incorporation into Squeak, but then I might lose control over the enhancements if that happens. Anyways, if you are interested, I know the enhancements work in 3.9.
I'll look over your proposed enhancements and consider them for inclusion in the code. Thanks for your nice words and proposed enhancements!
Regards,
John

Hello, I wanted to you let you I really like your LookEnhancements. Quite gorgeous. Is this going into 3.9?
I wanted to share an additional enhancement I made today. After loading LookEnhancements 6-31 from SqueakMap, I added a new preference to windows category called "inverteBright". It inverts the brightness, using white text on dark or black backgrounds.
Here is a screenshot.

Also note the other minor enhancement. The list-selections match the textHighlightColor, even in the Explorer view..
When day returns, the normal bright view is mostly unaffected. Should you wish to download and try it out:

Would you be interested in absorbing this into LookEnhancements?
Cheers, Chris
