FileList2>listForPattern(s): and MessageSend abuse

A scary example of how code can become awful. Look at TheWorldMenu>loadProject. It has ended up using a generic directory chooser dialogue *plus* a rather ugly StandardFileMenu to choose a project file.
There is a specific project loader provided by FileList2 but just try
`FileList2 modalFolderSelectorForProjectLoad`
*after* you have put on strong sunglasses. Maybe the current state is preferable after all...
`FileList2 modalFolderSelectorForProject: Project current`
is similarly a tad ‘bright’.

Useful random insult:- Solid concrete from the eyebrows backwards.

I'm wondering if you realize that EToys was the driver for much of this and they generally got the colors they wanted.

Oh certainly; but that doesn’t mean I have to approve of their colour choices. I do, after all, have an arts degree that requires me to look down my nose at visual choices made by  hoi polloi - or I lose my membership.

And being a bit more serious (hey, it’s Friday and I’m in pain from a back injury, I’m allowed to be grumpy) this is a case where fully integrated observation of the theme stuff would (I hope) solve that kind of thing.
