> The basic idea is that I didn't want to "port" the actual themes but  
> instead write a tool that would import standard open source themes  
> written by countless theme authors.  For the first pass at this I  
> chose the IceWM themes available for Unix.  See  
> http://themes.freshmeat.net and look for IceWM themes.
>
> The second key objective is that I didn't want to write skin-specific  
> code in any of the tools or application classes in Squeak.  The skins  
> framework swaps out morphs and replaces them with the ones required to  
> support the theme.
>
> And the final objective was that the user could change back to  
> non-skinned windows.  I wanted an enhancement that could live  
> along-side standard Squeak windows and be applied as desired.
>
> To install the skins II stuff, you need to download a total of 4  
> change sets, and some IceWM themes.  Those details are documented in  
> the Swiki and on my Squeak enhancements page.
>
> There are some tweaks I am working on.  I currently have full text  
> colors, selection color and insertion point color as defined by the  
> theme, working.  I've attached a link to a picture.

> required.
