For the order, I think at the time I was optimising for the #is... methods, being that the topmost is considered first. Not sure is makes much difference to be fair though...

Just do following script in latest squeak-dev image with UI enhancements installed.

World fillStyle: ( CompositeFillStyle fillStyles: { BitmapFillStyle fromForm: ( (Form extent: 1@2 depth: 32) colorAt: 0@0 put: (Color transparent) ; colorAt: 0@1 put: (Color gray)). World fillStyle. })

2 Gary Chambers: quite confused why style listed last drawn first? As for me it is more logical to fill in order of appearance in code, not in reverse.. or i missing something?

Another fun alternative:

World fillStyle: ( CompositeFillStyle fillStyles: { (GradientFillStyle colors: {Color white alpha: 0.1. Color black alpha: 0.5}) origin: 0@0; direction: 0@ Display height. (GradientFillStyle colors: {Color paleGreen. Color blue}) origin: 0@0; direction: Display width@0 })
