Thanks for this elaborate report. :-)

You're welcome. I'm in the UI most every day, for several hours. Looks matter to me.

I notice that the selection lists have changed somewhat - either in this package or in the trunk recently (not sure which). I think I like the new selections - but will take some time to get used to them.

"Changing themes works - mostly. It appears to just change the thematic
elements that are visible at the time of theme changing. What is mean is,
if you have a window minimized, then the contents of that window will not
change to the new theme, but will stay with the old theme (at least, the
colors do). This may not be an issue for folks with a reasonably small
number of windows open, of course."

There is a filter in Morph >> #canApplyUserInterfaceTheme, which checks
"self isInWorld". For collapsed window contents (text boxes etc.), that
returns false.

One could experiment with removing that check for a while.

I'm thinking I'll need to do this. Some of the older themes plus highlighting in the newest produce startling results - old dark theme in new dark theme = blinding white selections.

We think that we
might not want to change prototypical content or left-overs... Hmm... I
think we can fix this for Pluggable* widgets very easy by checking
#containingWindow.

Thanks!

Best,
Marcel
