I agree. It's a bit too much for me. I am all for sprucing up Squeak so it
is more accessible to outsiders, but some of this ...

I kind of like this myself. Gives a nice texture.

I agree. Unless on a PDA, which usually have lower DPI screens, making the
narrow bar actually physically wider. But on a 320x240 PDA is the only
place that I use narrow scrollbars in Squeak, otherwise they're harder to
use. And I'm the kind of person who likes smaller widgets- but on an OS
like Windows, scrollbars are on of the things I don't make smaller.

I agree. That'd be great!
