Design is not a question of 'fonts' and 'tastes'. Better UI ususally has some serious research background. You probably have to pay - or get interested - (the right) professionals to do it, and itâs worth it too!

Yes but so far we cannot afford it.
Yes - often developers are not the best designers. Either we find a designer that is able to devote his time to Pharo or find some money to pay one. Correct? There are new so called "crowd-sourced funding sites" like kickstarter.com. If "light-table" [1] from Chris Granger was able to get $316,720 (as of today) then Kickstarter may be a platform to get some Pharo funding as well: a) a proposal to fund a better design for Pharo b) a proposal to fund a better future with Pharo Looks like a good video about the projects goals/vision and a short summary may help to convince others to help funding. Anything we can do into this direction? Heretic question: what would it cost to build Pharos vision? Thx T.
