Hmmm, it seemed rather easy to me to change the theme and/or desktop 
colors, although I ended up setting them back to the defaults for now. I 
figured there were more important things to learn first. I don't work 
much with Photoshop or PSP, and have no musical talent that requires any 
synthesizer/sequencer/mixer apps (earplugs might be handy, OTOH), so I'm 
a pretty easy convert.

Since I've been running a dual bar theme in LS for many months now, it 
was simple to get used to that aspect of the UI at least. They didn't 
put everything in the most logical place, however - i.e., where *I* put 
it in *my* theme. ;)

I think they're beta-testing a Windows installer for Debian now, so 
maybe you could check that out, just for grins? (after backing 
everything up, of course...)
