= Changing Themes =
Just like when using MS Windows, the user can select different themes to change the behaviour behavior and characteristics of application windows.
To change a theme, you select '''SYSTEM -> PREFERENCES -> APPEARANCE ''' . When you do this a "''Appearances Preferences''" dialog box will appear. Make certain that the ''Themes '' tab is selected. Then you can select the theme that appeals to you. You can also "''customize''" your theme to select specific characteristics (i.e. "pick and choose")...
If you are interested in having various parts of your application window behave more like Windows Vista (eg. ''transparent '' or "''glassy''" titlebars, glowing buttons, etc..., then you should install the application called "'''Emerald'''" that allows the user to "tweak" those features.  Please refer to the previous menu on "'''Setup Special Desktop Effects '''"...
