I've had problems figuring out the color handling of SystemWindows too... you also have complicated methods like #paneColor (which is what #setWindowColor: really sets, not the morph color), and then #existingPaneColor and #paneColorToUse, etc.

Perhaps, a couple of versions from now, if everyone is happy with the alternateWindowLook, we could dump support for the original window look and simplify some of the code a bit. (although the original window look is probably better for 1-bit displays right now...)

In any case, maybe a comment should be added to #setWindowColor: stating that the model must be set first, or something to that effect.
