considering the *great* graphics and animation support available under squeak, would it be difficult to mould the squeak 'ui' to adhere to material design guidelines [1] from google?

Designing and implementing user interfaces tends to be a lot of work, but aside from that I so no reason that it could not be done.
One of the nice aspects of Squeak (often overlooked) is that it provides a concept of "projects" in which different types of user interface environments can be implemented. You can open a Morphic project or an MVC project, and the system will look and feel quite different depending which kind of project you are currently using. The concept can be extended to other kinds of UI implementation, such as the one you are suggesting here.
I am cross-posting to the squeak-dev list, which is probably a better place to continue the discussion.

okay, since i am still self-training for smalltalk and all stuff squeak, would like to know if the preferred approach be to create my own project and do what i want with it without crippling the rest of my system image?
