Found it :!: :A It is under accessories in the menu. Pick install and your desktop magically changes - it also makes a backup of the old settings. Our famous background changer still works, so I did not have much time to enjoy the elegant background :P
But I guess it is quite elegant. Pic coming up....

Nice. :)

When it comes on, is it on long enough for a screen shot?

This is what I have got so far. One anoying thing: When highlighting the link in imageshack there is no change of color, But it does mark the link.
Fonts seem fine. But the theme is a bit on the dark side.

Hunh. Agreed. That is a bit dark.

Thanks!

But there is a nice and tidy option to restore the previous settings so there seems to be no risk.
Here is a look with a brighter background - still dark.
And in firefox the text on the links to copy from imageshack is white on white background:) took me a while to figure it out.

So I tested the "restore the previous setting" function.
Like magic all my old settings were back.
That is the sign of a good software and I like that, so now I am going to install it again to test some more :lol:
Edit and so I did here is the original:
Image

On the positive side there is no white text on white background in Iron (chrome without spies). The fonts are sharp and good.

Looks like you're not the only one enjoying it. :)

Glad you are, Boss.

Good thing, was about to post my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file to fix that.

Gkrellm & Amarok1 player? Not sure which you're referring to, or what - those two are fairly obvious.
