I really like the look that we use now (Watery 2). It looks
professional. Also, it shows from the aesthetics point of view that
Pharo is different to Squeak.

I would agree that Watery 2 is pretty good looking, with just a few annoyances. I kind of wish that in browser type windows (OB, Universe Browser, etc...) the buttons and frames wouldn't keep reverting to their original colors! Trying to fix that is WAY beyond me, however...

What we still need to decide about are the default fonts. I still
think that the Bitstream Vera family is a good option, or as suggested
by Damien Pollet (see his mail from December 1), DejaVu.

Yes, I downloaded the Bistream Vera fonts for Windows at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/, and liked the Mono font for coding. I think I like a more basic font like Verdana or something, though, for menus, lists, buttons, etc...

Take care,

Rob
