Developer theme/image?

Hello,

im using squeak3.8-6665full (standard download) on a G4 powerbook to
play around with seaside. Everything works (as expected), but i don't
like the interface for development:

Two questions:

Is there a theme (or image) available which removes 90% of the eye
candy and adds some nice monospace fonts for all text-fields (Browser,
Workspace, Transcript, etc.)? I played around with preferences &
appearance from the world menu, but wasn't able to produce a usable
UI.

Squeak feels slow:

I don't mean the vm execution speed for bytecode (seaside apps are
fast enough), but the visual and/or tactile (i lack a better word
here) feedback of the UI just feels slow. Even when typing the output
sometimes lags behind ! It seems to get worse when adding things like
Shout or eCompletion (which i would like to use). Drag & drop of
window outlines is also slow.

Maybe it's possible to tweak the scheduler? Remove morphic, use MVC
world only? Im currently only interested in seaside development....

Emacs (well Aquamacs now) user here, so maybe im just spoiled .-)

Regards,
Dirk

It's a lot faster for sure. Thanx for the hint....

Ok.

Do you mean Emacs key bindings from SqueakMap? Do they work for you
(on macosx)? Ctrl-a is still mark-whole-buffer afterwards, not
beginning-of-line ....

Cheers,
Dirk
ps: is there a way to define _one_ font for all Editors, Browsers,
Debuggers, etc.? 'Lucida sans Typewriter' would be awesome ....

I heard about a package with vi keybindings that is easy to configure
for emacs key bindings too. Can't find it however

Yes, but is not installable on 3.9+.
