Hi Diego,

Incremental improvements like these go a long way toward updating
Squeak's UI. I especially like the SystemWindow button enhancements.
Your decision to make the gradient lighter in the upper left corner is
consistent with Windows XP, and when combined with rounded corners it
will look better in MacOS X as well. Very nice.

>From the images you provided it appears as though the difference in
brightness between the active and inactive windows is fairly small. In
addition, the brightness of the text and buttons does not change when a
window is deactivated (although this isn't your fault since it worked
this way before). How difficult would it be to lighten everything more
significantly so the active window is more readily apparent?

Nice work, Diego! This is a great start.
