A few more buglets/problems:

1. The current window color is still too light.  This might seem a bit picky, but with the default Squeak preferences (alternativeWindowLook on, etc.), the scrollbar is so faint that it's difficult to see against its background.  Actually, on a laptop LCD screen (which tends to distinguish poorly between light colors), it's pretty much impossible to see the scrollbar against its background... a significant problem, IMHO.

To fix this, I would go with a somewhat darker yellow color.  You could change SMLoader>>paneColor to return "Color yellow muchLighter duller", which would give you a beige color.  Or you could use "Color yellow lighter duller" for a golden yellow color.

2. A minor thing (since you're already making other tweaks :-) )... The new help link to the SqueakMap swiki page is cool, but I would separate the last sentence more and clarify it a bit more.  Put a couple CRs in front of it, and change it to something like: "Would you like to view more detailed help on the SqueakMap swiki page?"

3. Hm, I just noticed that the source code in SMLoader seems to have extra characters (probably LFs) embedded at the beginning of each line of code.  Might want to do a "remove line feeds" on your next release changeset.

Other than that, things are looking pretty good...

Attached is a changeset of fixlets for #1 and #2.
