Is that with or without the UI Enhancements loaded? I put a lot of effort into fixing the corner grip positions and using absolute coordinates, rather than deltas, so that the mouse cursor changes appropriately when resizing below the minimumExtent of a window (mouse no longer within the grip upon mouse release).
What does "rescue the old bits" mean?

The corner handles are inconvenient also when I do #renderOn: a SVG+xhtml canvas. Sometimes they seem to be one off (hard to predict/reproduce) and the implementation (rescue the old bits...) is/does, hrm, does not give you a good time when *not* rendering on a graphics card.
I have no suggestion for what/how to do better with them, just my CHF 0.05.

Your new

As for the legibility of button text with Vistary, I find
it alright
when using a FreeType font...
As for corner handles, they were a bugger to fix to work
properly! I'd
prefer the old border/side behaviour with no handles as
such. I could
make this an option if there's sufficient interest.

I knew I missed a question in my global reply - the corner
handles.
They do not particularly bother me (I almost like them
actually), but
if they go away, I won't scream about it. Now that you
mention it,
you're right, they are ugly ;)
Gary, something I just noticed is that the soft squeak
theme leaves
the [x] button on the left of the title bar. I _think_ I
would move
it to he right. That said, I gladly defer to you
judgement. BTW, I
continue to be impressed with your work. For reasons unknown, I switched back to the Vistary theme and noted that you
obviously can
move the close button; at first, I assumed you simply didn't mess with the locations. I would use the Vistary theme, but I find the buttons difficult to read due to the lens effect, or more to the point, its location. Of course, that is largely a result of what you set out to emulate. I can envision writing a hybrid theme that has lens effects near rectangle bounds, but
that can wait.

Looks real good Bill! I especially like highlighting the items in Lists the same as text highlighted in a text pane; a big
improvement
over the red-on-gray list selections of past.
Do you have a mind to ditch the corner handles? Aren't they ugly? Not to mention redundant with the changing of the mouse-pointer. I've also noticed (in 3.9 images) they creep out of their bounds under certain circumstances like too small a window-title font, or maybe square window corners too..

I did some fiddling to try to reproduce the installation
problems I
had, added a reminder about the Damien's dev image to
the UI swiki
page,
downloaded it, and did an installation of Gary's widgets using Monitcello. Then I moved my BibTeX helper code into the
new image. I
appear to have made a happy mistake in the latter,
capturing a change
that I considered redundant, and ended up with more or less
the visual
changes I was trying to create, and grabbed a screenshot
before I had
time to break it :)
I will probably send it to Gary as a start. What is the
proper way to
make it available? I suppose the easiest thing is to put
it on my web
page, but I have not yet learned how to use Linux to remotely access
our
servers, so I can't do that right now.
When it becomes available, you will notice the background
color of the
browser's and debugger's code pane. I would hope for the
debugger's
inspector panes to be so colored also, though they
currently show it
only for the top line. Ironically, the workspace in the
image is not
correctly colored, though a newly-created instance has
the correct
color, though, as in the debugger's inspectors, it shows
the color
only
to a point, after which the default white takes over.
Again, this is not a super big deal, but I find that
similar changes
that OA made to Dolphin long ago grew on me.
