Sorry, meant to put this in the other post....
This
article mentions reglazing, but again nothing about changing the look. I highly doubt that is going to happen. Doesn't make sense....

Recently, AS+GG was selected to oversee the greening of the Sears Tower, a commission that could easily have gone to the building's original architects, SOM Chicago. "They were interviewed," Smith says with a discernible grin. The ongoing renovation will involve reglazing of the building, updated lighting, and an overhauled mechanical plant. New green roofs will be installed—the first test section is already in place—along with a rooftop photovoltaic array. In addition, the firm will explore the use of wind turbines as a viable energy source.
