Hi, Eilein,

There are a few more ways to tone things down.  I attach an example 
theme that makes an attempt to do that.  It doesn't change any fonts, 
but if you look in the code you'll see advice on how to change the 
system fonts in a theme method.  By setting your own choices for 
system's menu font, button font, window-title font, etc., you ought 
to be able to get quite close to the look you're after.

Using this method as a point of departure, you can define your own 
theme method, and by simply transporting that one method from one 
image to another, you will be able to carry along your precise 
look-and-feel preferences to any image you touch.

Also, note that a theme-defining method is just a regular Smalltalk 
method, so it can have any code you want in it -- not just code to 
set Preferences, but also code to set fonts, desktop pattern, author 
initials, author name, really anything you to set.

Cheers,

  -- Scott
