If you are interested in changing Squeak's look, I encourage you! More power to you. But you may want to see why those other efforts failed before you spend a lot of time on this.
I am not a designer. My main point is not about programming. One of the reasons why these projects get discontiued might me that there is no common understanding what squeak should look like. For the same reason I believe we do not need themes.

For me Squeak is so many things, not just a windowing gui, so I quit thinking about look of it as soon as I had learned enough to start changing it. I think lot's of people see it the same way, Squeak is more a way of thinking and a language than a look. On the other side I think a good look would attract people as any good looking stuff do:-) As soon as the modules stuff gets integrated into all the major tools, it may become easier to maintain a look package.
