I did once manage to get a halo for it and drag it enough to see that it is your welcome/configure intro.

And why the multiple 1 second delays? It makes it appear as if Squeak is really slow, which probably wasn’t the intention.

The alpha blending of the welcome stuff background is a bit of a performance issue on a Pi. An ugly but effective solution is a simple `Smalltalk platformSubtype beginsWith: ‘arm’ `

The rounding of the buttons is still ugly (we mentioned this some time ago) and seems to improve a bit if we set the rounding radius to 10. 

Here’s some suggested changes to make it fit better in the small window.
