CGUI isn't so big and unfortunatly I don't have the time to work on it
every week. So BobsUI should be a better choice.

Of course you have the standard Classes like SystemWindow or
SimpleButtonMorph in the image. Take a look at the existing applications.
There's also Zurgle on SqueakMap which provides a Win XP like look. But
I think there have been some bugs in the last time.
I think the real power is in building a special GUI for your special
application. All the boring gray widgets that we are used to in a
Windows World aren't what Squeak wants to copy. But it gives you the
power to build your own GUI easy and very fast!
